Thankfully it sounds like no chemicals in volved. [:D][:p]
Fond memories of Salisbury, NC. Back in 1976 while on a college basketball road trip to Catawba College, the coach let me take the college vehicle railfanning. I went uptown to the depot and got shots of probably 10 trains in the afternoon.
That night I scored 37 points and 15 rebounds.
The 10 trains in one day and the 37 points were both career highs!

Dang it…I was hoping that SD70M would bite the dust!
they would have rebuilt that SD70 if it had been wrecked
