Bryan Smith	General	Back years ago on the Dothan line a spray train ran down to Dothan and was going to spray back. Of the 5 or 6 tank cars involved, only one had the highly concentrated weed killer. The others were loaded with water that was mixed, by the sprayer, with the highly concentrated weed killer. The train left Dothan on it's slow journey to Albany making sure to get a good coverage. Only upon arriving Albany was it dtermined that someone had forgot to open the valve for the weed killer. All they had done was water the weeds. And since they were already scheduled to go elsewhere the following day, they did not get back down to the Dothan line. The result? Biggest stand of weeds you ever saw....all the way from Dothan to Albany.	5/13/2014 8:45:46 AM
