Political Factoid

The Big Oil and Big Coal
industries have caused
the primary access path
to a public beach used by
local citizens in Washington
to be blocked
... by getting the railroad
to erect a large fence,
posting keep-out signs,
and making people walk
over a mile and a half
further.
  
    
A ghost of the Standard Oil monopoly using
the Union Tank Car Company a century ago.
