kayla_allenBecause of how Day Jobbe went the previous two days, I went to bed on Friday about 4 PM. Around seven hours later, I woke up and about the time I though I was ready to go back to bed for a little while, I heard an unusual sound from the railroad. Looking out, I saw this.
This is a rail-grinding train. The railroads periodically grind the rails to smooth them out and prevent small cracks from becoming large ones. Of course it certainly makes the sparks fly! The trailing part of the train is the water cars that spray water over the area to prevent fires, and that is why there is a cloud over the train.
At the very start of the video, you'll see Lisa briefly passing through the frame, as she had also come out to have a look at the show. There even was a passing car that stopped to see what was going on.
The Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories channel is very quiet these days, but it serves as a good place to post videos like this.
