  1. The first two are very similar to the bridge and tunnel in the end segments of Von Ryan’s Express.

    • Well, Arizona has transited to a woke state… so it is it’s pronoun. Thanks for catching that, must have not drunk enough coffee, or too much coffee when I created that post. I have fixed it Grampa Dee.

  2. OK, so let me get this straight… the fucking REACTOR took a SERIOUS tumble and it still was OK to install?

    Yeah… I trust that about as much as anything else the Goobermint tells me LOL
    Guess MomUnit may be glowing in the dark sooner rather than later at some point…

    • An Oversize Load like that moves at Walking Speed. It’s completely Unlikely that a Pressure Vessel that Heavy would be Damaged in any way. It looks more like the Frame of the Railcar failed somehow, rather than a “Derailment”.
      Where’s Pete Buttplug? He’ll have it under control.

    • BC, it’s a brand-new one, not an old retired one. No fuel in it yet, just a very large pressure vessel. Steel, and all that.
