I'm sorry to have to tell the UKers this, but there has been an accident with the Lard Trains.

Two of them were making for an LST in Portland, Oregon and were running on the tracks of the old Oregon Short Line road as it was the most direct route from Idaho to the LST.

As the first train, loaded with 2,000 tons of law, was rounding a steep downhill curve, the last two lard cars flipped onto their sides, spilling lard all over the tracks and creating a condition that the engineer (driver) of the following train described as "slicker'n the shit from a goose with the Seven Day Scours."

To make a long story short, the first train eventually jumped the rails. The second train, unable to get traction because of the lard spill, did the same. Fortunately, there was no loss of life as the train crew, bums, transients, and assorted do-gooders managed to jump clear.

The trains and their cargo ended up in the now-active caldera of Mt. St. Helens, creating the world's largest deep-fat-fryer. Rumor has it that McDonald's is sending airlifting tons of french fries to the site.

More information as it becomes believable.
