A story about Amtrak’s new beef-powered train:
Taking Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer train between Fort Worth and Oklahoma City sometime in the next year? You will be hitching a ride on the first beef byproducts-powered biodiesel train. The train, which runs on 80% regular diesel and 20% beef-based biofuel from a Texas vendor, is running for the next 12 months courtesy of a $274,000 grant from the Federal Railroad Administration.
My friend Dawn Eden suggests the obvious headline “On the Moo-ve.” Were the editors too afraid to use it? Cow-ards.
