And hold em close to this rail car if you happen to see it on the rail tracks somewhere. Why's that you ask? That's the car used to move nuclear reactors.

I took a picture of this one with my camera phone while I was working. This one is of course, empty. When they do have reactors in them they come through with armed military escort. I've no idea how much radiation these things emit when they've got a reactor in them. I do know that the reactors are not moved with the uranium inside them , which makes sense.

I took this because I thought it was somewhat interesting, please if you actually do see this car on railroad tracks somewhere, don't fuck around with it. Stay away from it.

Being an avid fan of reactors, I'd really like to take a look at your picture. Alas it is 404 at the moment.

I'd imagine that the car would be shielded to prevent the escape of lingering radiation from when it previously contained uranium.

I see the 404 error as well <pout>. Please Trevy... post a link so I can see the car. 😊 please and thank you...

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. They probably wanna keep terrorists from finding out stuff like this. Meh. It probably woulda been cool to see the rail car though. :kitty:

Very unique looking rail car. Although - it looks like some woman should pop out 'a the middle and yell, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!". <lol>

Only the woman would be horribly horribly sick from the residual radiation in the car. But, hey, nothing say "Happy Birthday" like a genetic mutant! =D

Yeah yeah yeah Trevy!! *I* thought it was funny. And don't genetic mutants always say happy birthday? 😉

Ya. Look at Frosty! Ok he wasn't really a mutant. Just magical. :sweat: Ok bad joke I know. IN seriousness though, after looking at the rail car's piccy I've foud it to look kinda cool. :kitty:

Like a cheesy special effect from 'Attack of the Martians 3' or something like that.
