This happened here in Dalton. And if you don't want to watch the whole video, go to 4:00 to see what this thread is about. AND IF SOMEONE EVER ASKS YOU TO DO THIS, DON'T!

 
Living 750 ft from the tracks, hobos are common to my property, and are welcome to a hot shower from my distant garden hose hot water shower, and use of my backyard outhouse, as their campsite ... I gotz' lotz' of stinky fwiendz' :hehe:

Why, the coal couldn't shift from another moron on the tracks doing something ahead of the train, forcing it to break hard, (or derail) and bury you alive, at all.... no way no how.
Well, all that carbon should preserve you well, when they find you.

Pulverized coal is wet down after loading, rain and snow further wet and compact it

Sounds like a pretty crappy way to ride:

In excess of 75 trains leave the Wyoming - Powder River Coal Basin each and every day, 365 days a year, that is allot of coal ! I would think that a train traveling from Wyoming to points eastward, for ports exporting our coal to foreign countries like China, or then down to Florida Power & Light (where they burn a 100 ton hopper of pulverized coal each and every 5 minutes, 24/7/365) that's allot of coal that would be missing, and towns all along the way would be complaining
