RE: (erielack) Shortage Of Railroad Cars For Hauling Fracking



Since three people have now decided I was serious about not knowing what
"fracking" is, let me be clear:  I do know what it is.

What I wrote was . . ." BTW, with a pre '76 mindset, what the heck is
'fracking?' "

I was trying to get across that the list is about the EL, not current-day
railroading, and the EL didn't know from fracking.  Someone else was more
direct:  "Could we stay on topic, please?"
