I rather believe this means "garbage train." In looking up data on my new
MP15 switcher, came across this little do-dad:
I wonder who models this??

Yep, that's a load of crap alright. I occasionally drive over a bridge that goes over the property. My brother used to live between it and a horse track. He said it always smelled like crap in his neighborhood. If it was horse or human just depended which way the wind was blowing.

Yipes! And, uh, where does all this...stuff...end up? Not in the
river or the lake, I should hope. Must be a heck of a problem
to dispose of all this muck- it is the mother of typhus and
cholera.

The massive Sanitary District plant in Chicago (now Water Reclamation District) was built to clean up sewage before sending it down the reversed flowing Chicago river to St. Louis.
The solid left over is dried out and at one time was offered free to home owners as fertilizer. They called it 'New Earth' That was stopped when it was found the mercury levels in the stuff was unsafe. Interesting fact is it was never recommended to be used on lawns since your lawn would start spouting tomato plants. It seems tomato seeds are not digested by people and so the stuff is full of them.
Some people say Chicago sends it's waste down to St. Louis and they send it back as Budweiser.
