The Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.
The Good news: A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the Governmental Regulations.
The Bad news: The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses. When crew tried to explain to higher-ups they needed to move the train, they were instructed not to move the train because Federal Regulations prohibit moving the train when a part is defective.
Well okee-dokey then, and the pictures tell the rest.
As always the Government knows what is best for us.

Did Obama know about this too?
Know about it?
This is the story of his regime!
Up in flames due to stupidity and arrogance!
The lamb knew what to do. Why can not the lamb simply do what is right? bureaucracy be damned.
Start thinking for yourselves. Following orders is the excuse of weak minded people.
D"OH!
Lamb would have saved the day, then been fired.
