My brother is an engineer with Norfolk Southern. He says that in the right conditions, an engine could derail like that, but it would most likely tip over. If it didn't tip and was traveling slow, it would stop pretty quickly but not without digging trenches in the ground where it started plowing earth.

Yeah, being a bit of a train weenie, my first reaction was "What? A spur that crosses a street, probably to a factory just off the mainline?"
Good photo trickery that made us all do a double take but a) one of the flashers is on and b) if you look closely you can see the tracks - the slush and low res has hidden them (mostly). (I think I cropped the one in the bottom left but can't be bothered to re-do it! Supposed to be "working"...!)

LOl, is this one photo shopped also like the train? Doesn't seem possible the wheel on the bottom side would have snow falling through them and the snow left is a different pattern then the spokes on the truck.

I am calling out another conspiracy here!

With all this being said, and obviously voltage is going to be an issue for the lifetime of our boats (I also have a 22 255XD)…. Any suggestions on a quality battery to replace the stock ones when the time come …. Which I predict will be sooner than later…. LoL!….
Unfortunately my boat is stored at the lake I frequent (Lake Havasu), about 4 hours away. It could be sitting for weeks or months in the winter, without being used…. And really no way to keep the batteries on a ‘tender’. Sounds like I better be prepared to bring a battery charger with me when I go out?….
Also sounds like I should install a positive disconnect on both batteries. Seeing as how I also noticed last time I shut the boat down, that there was that red light on….. sounds like that light will always be slowly draining the batteries?
Thanks for all your info concerning this!!!!!
