[They worked for Trinity Rail, which refurbishes tanker cars.]
Bill Porter Oy, didn' t have a watch outside the car?, stupid.
Jeff Lewis Yeah, that wasn't very bright. I wonder what the tank had been hauling.
Shawn James Stewart how could they have done that? someone mustve left the cap open on the top. gosh and no ladder to use to climb out? gosh.

Both railroad routes through this town used to be the Frisco. Both routes are now the Kiamichi Railroad (KRR). I believe the Frisco railyard is now KRR's base of operations. KRR was the BNSF Shortline of the Year in 2018. "Since 2012, Kiamichi has improved much of its 265-mile line to handle 286k cars, including upgrades to 150 miles of track and investments of more than $35 million....leading to 300% growth in its carload business with BNSF."
