Iowa Interstate Railway

Iowa Interstate is a Class 3 Railroad running trains between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Chicago, Illinois. The Railroad uses SD38-2s, GP38-2s, ES44ACs, QJ locomotives from China, and some weird ass "slug" locomotives. The railroad line was bought from The Rock Island Railroad in 1984, and was built on the old main line stretching from Omaha to Chicago. Today they run multiple trains each day, one of the most popular trains being the CBBI (Council Bluffs-Blue Island), or BICB (Blue Island - Council Bluffs) this train usually use 2-3 locomotives for power (usually 2 ES44ACs, and sometimes a 3rd GP-38 or SD-38) And pulled Grain, Containers, and sometimes other stuff. The line is also great for insulator hunting and has an assortment of different glass.

The Iowa Interstate Railway local had IAIS 516 leading today!!!

I'm going to drive a railroad spike through my skull

A phrase often said after a friend or loved one has said something so incredibly so atrocious you would feel better off just not being there.

Often used in place of phrases like "Shut the fuck up" "That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard" and "You are a disappointment."

Beta: "That's pretty poggers!"

Schligma: "I'm going to drive a railroad spike through my skull."

railgun

A type of weapon that is capable of discharging projectiles at unbelievably high velocities. In this day and age, a railgun is capable of firing a projectile with such velocity because it can use electromagnetism.

Railguns are the future of how nuclear weapons can be launched. Nuclear missiles usually undergo 4 phases, some of which have problems....but with a railgun, there are less required phases, and it's apparently inexpensive! And that's not even the scariest thing.....you know how nuclear missiles are shot down? It's because nuclear missiles burn propellant, and interception technology can pinpoint it, and shoot down the incoming nuke with ease....however, with a railgun, the missile doesn't have to burn any propellant, and therefore it is INVISIBLE!!
Thus, railguns are capable of launching nuclear missiles that can be considered "invisible nuclear missiles"....the thought of that is VERY frightening. And yet, strategic and effective.

"The railgun technology was popularized not just by Quake, but particularly by Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Rex, in MGS, has a right arm that is a massive railgun."

Rail Mooch

Someone that rolls up to a rail that you spent all day going on crazy missions to scope out and set up and then they come at the last second and shred your rail. Or they sit there and watch you set up clamin they are just gonna film and then they decided once its set up to drop in.

Chad just sat there and watched us do all the work setting up the rail and then once it was set up he tried to do the rail but all he did was a front nose slap.
