Some of you may have heard of these firefighting trains, but this is what they look like.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) operates this four car monster, equipped with a minimum of 30,000 gallons of water and fire retardant, powered by two locomotives. And, sure to win any water fight, it’s got a battery of water cannons capable of throwing a plume several hundred feet in any direction.
