    It always makes me chuckle to think that those airplane fuselages have to take a train ride before they can fly. Loved the deer in LaPlata, the "dance like we're all watching" in Tucson and the "street loco" in Fort Madison. Best get-well wishes to Joe Peach!

      I feel like there's either the largest number of bikes per capita in Waycross, or somebody has made a game of these idiotic close calls. There's a steady stream of them from that same camera over the last couple years, and at least a few of them look like they *could* be the same person. It's like he waits until there's a train coming, then (always casually) rides across RIGHT in front of the locomotive. I thought this from about the second or third time I saw one of these Darwins, and it's only become more regular since then.

    Geez. The second BNSF locomotive from the first clip was scary. Mind you, in Canada where I live, the same thing happened to a second CN locomotive 2 years ago when it was going to Edmonton Alberta. The second locomotive was on fire and halfway between Spruce Grove and Edmonton, firefighters had to meet the train to put the fire out. It made the paper the next day

      Aircraft fuselages are 737-Max.Only others to be carried are new P8 Poseidon (Same frame ,no passenger windows).edit.Frames are built in Wichita KS and shipped to Boeing in Everett WA for final assembly.There is no way on God's green earth that a 747 would fit.

      @@Z4Zander You can always tell a Boeing plane, because the last window on the side, the bottom edge tilts upward to the back. This works on every Boeing jet EXCEPT the 747. Also, the 747 has that very distinctive forward fuselage that is 2-level, and the cockpit is fully on that second level. 747 pilots sit so high that they are too high to use the PAPI lights the regular way; most planes know they are on the correct glide because there are 2 red and 2 white lights. Flying a 747, a C5 Galaxy, Antonov 124 or a Concorde you will see 3 red and 1 white when on proper glide.

      Stack fires can be from several different causes, but essentially there is oil in the exhaust which builds up on the inside of the stack. At some point it gets hot enough (pulling hard maybe coupled with hot ambient temperatures) and it ignites. A continuous flame suggests a bad turbo seal.
