anyone ever seen a train at night that has two very very bright lights on

[Algorem]

each car that light up the whole area on each side of the train?This is what I saw a few nights ago about 1 am.It was a very long train going normal speed(fast) with these lights at either end of each car,maybe each about a fifth of the way from each end of the car.I was about 300 yards from the train end there were some trees and bushes in the way,so I couldn't get a real good look,but could see that some of the cars had 'rooms' with lights on inside windows,but only some of them.there were many many of these cars with the lights .Then at end ef the train were many cars without the lights.Very wierd thing to see.After the thing was past I kept seeing flashing lights(optical illusion thing) for quite a while because I had been staring at this thing with the lights 'flashing' through the spaces between the trees and bushes for a few minutes.

8. I was thinking maybe they had video cameras pointing in either direction

on each lighted car and they were taping too see whatever goes on around the train tracks at night;critters,hoboes,winos,homeless people,mad bombers?Maybe some whacked-out Homeland Insecurity thing?

14. They don't need lights to tape or film stuff.

They have technology like night vision goggles that can "see" in the dark.

My guess is that they are trying to scare something away like moose or bears in the Northwest f'instance although you'd think the horn blasts would be sufficient.

In Cleveland, I dunno what you have wandering around at night that could get on the tracks that they want to scare.

18. Excellent,I guess I've seen hundreds of trains at night but nothing like

that.

[Dr.Phool]

17. That explains it

You were drinking water out of the Cuyahoga, weren't you?

[Algorem]

20. The champagne of pollution-buzz waters,Crooked River Brown,gotta

drink it down.

[hlthe2b]

23. Two questions...

Was there obvious securit on the train?

and...
Are you on the route for nuclear waste to travel through?

[Algorem]

24. I couldn't tell but the 'rooms' I saw weren't like a passenger train,they

looked like smaller rectangular box things probably attached to flat cars I guess.And I don't even know about the nuclear thing.

12. Could be someone shooting a movie. n/t

[Algorem]

15. That's what I was thinking,they could mix the ones from different cameras

together and have like time lapse films of animals running away,people trying to hide from the lights and who knows what crazy stuff.Hope they didn't get me,cuz I was prancing around in women's underwear.Not really.I had to be too far away,maybe.

21. Inspection Trains like that go by my house several times a year,

At least I thought they were inspection trains, (Cue X-Files Theme), I didn't realize they were mind-control/surveillance trains.

George Bush for President, North Korea has nukes, Iran is the axis of evil, Hailliburton is just doing jobs other Americana won't do. Mass produced beer is really tasty, Bud Man is Cool.

I think I need a Prozac.
