Description
Back in the centre of the town. This was one of the trains that once carried the slate down from the quarries into the town. Local vandals thought it would be fun to overturn wagons.

  town hall should be wiser and weld them to the track - these are never going to run again anyway. Sadly.

  Ha, you know that's exactly what I thought when I saw them!

  Aye, good luck overturning the train, ya wee fucks.

Prolly weighs a couple of ton... and then some.

  The armory in Oshawa has a tank on their front lawn. Many years ago, it used to be operational. Apparently one year, it was used in a parade and it went out of control and wound up in Colonel Sam's rose garden causing considerable damage. After that, the tank was disabled and welded shut.

  Why do they weld the tank... They should've welded the driver shut!

  I was told that the brakes were buggered and since the tank was already surplus (plus it was moving slowly) they weren't too worried about repairs until after the incident. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the Colonel backed up the driver.
