Stop? Only capitalist running dogs stop, in Soviet Union we don't recognize the word stop. :apistola:

It's 2AM, you're on the way home from an evening of revelry.
You're stopped at a railroad crossing, and the weed burner goes by all alight.

Call out the National Guard. I swear, it was a monster, breathing fire, and prowling the countryside. I'm so lucky it didn't spot me.
What does my blood alcohol level have to do with it, I know what I saw!!

[Thread drift]:

One night about a hunnert years ago, me and my buddy were sitting on the square at about 3-4 in the morning. No traffic. I mean nothing for over an hour. We hear a car coming and we both look toward the sound. I SHIT YOU NOT, a 71 El Dorado convertible pulling a car trailer comes by the town square, at 3-ish in the damn morning, pulling a ten foot-tall pink elephant wearing horn-rimmed glasses and holding an eight-foot martini glass w/an olive the size of three pregnant watermelons in it.

I'm still looking the direction it went when my buddy looks back the other direction and says, to no one in particular, "I didn't see a damned thing."

That's when you do a mental inventory of your awake/asleep state, your eye sight, your dope, and your mental health. :lol:

Any chance it was this one in Indiana?

Even better than my imagination!

I love it that you backed up grav's story.

They're in cahoots I tells ya, cahoots. :lol2:

Never underestimate the power of the wind...

Stripped...

It looked more like the one in Illinois. Very close. The glasses on mine looked better.

Anybody know what this is about? Looks like part of a switch but there's no track to switch to??

If it were a switch, wouldn't the track split happen just below where the image cuts off?

Maybe, but a switch needs to move two tracks. Looking through Google images of track switches I don't see anything remotely like that.

It's the front of a railroad canoe.
