Watched the world's largest steam locomotive pass by on its way into Roseville, CA. today after work. Going to try and see it while it's on display over the weekend.
For those close enough and like old steam locomotives, here is a schedule of it's rout

Big Boy No. 4014
Twenty-five Big Boys were built exclusively for Union Pacific Railroad, the first of which was delivered in 1941. The locomotives were 132 feet long and weighed 1.2 million pounds. Because of their great length, the frames of the Big Boys were "hinged," or articulated, to allow them to negotiate...

I haven't read into it too much, but it shouldn't be limited to the EPA. I think little to nothing will change, 3 letter agencies will continue to do what they want
We can all only hope this will curtail their excessive rulings. We are being ruled by unelected bureaucrats, and that isnt right.
Eventually, those agencies will figure out a way to get around that ruling, or some executive order will be written as such. Such is our gov't.
Love those old trains! Amazing what we built back then, isnt it?
Daughter, Son-in-law and our grandson are in town this weekend!!!!! We picked them up at the airport a few hours ago!

Listen to a number of people who have gone over this ruling. Mark Smith - four box dinner has a good take on it. Basically nothing will really change unless a case is brought before a court and the court strikes down the regulation. Otherwise it's business as usual. The only difference really is instead of the lower courts referring to the agencies as the experts, they are supposed to weigh the evidence and actions taken by said agency and see if it's in line with the laws passed by Congress. If so then it stands. If not then it's thrown out. But unless a lawsuit is successfully brought before a court then the EPA or whatever agencies rules stand
I can only imagine the number of CA residents having an aneurysm with that coal roller going by. You can tell it's a show piece, not a single car had graffiti
I wish that train was still coal powered. Was converted to run on oil. Would be neat if there was still coal shoveling and cars over filled with coal behind the engine.I can only imagine the number of CA residents having an aneurysm with that coal roller going by.

Really? Seems kinda dark. I've seen raw crude around here burn pretty clean. Good idea for an alternative fuel. Maybe it's used engine oil from all the diesel trains?
Could be. They say it runs on No. 5 oil or bunker B. Probably could use all the old oil from their trains and other vehicles and call it "number 5"
This annoys me more as a USN Vet

. WOW!
The other alphabet agencies do the same thing just no where near as honest about it
I'm more worried about unintentional ripple effect downstream that have a negative effect

It’s used in the cosmetics industry but it’s got another name for industrial uses. I used to see the bunker boats constantly. That terminology got me, I’ve never heard of fuel oil called bunker oil and I live and work in the marine industry.
