Wow! I've seen scrap hoppers and coal cars used for scrap, but this is just too cool!

Did you intend for the caption to be a pun?

Wow, that must be a scrap yeard, as I doubt any self respecting railroad would allow something like that on their mainline. Besides, froma engineering standpoint, that car is severly weakend due tot he tube structure of the tank have been comprimised. It wouldn't take much for the barrel of the car to collapse.

Why can't the engineer be electrocuted?
Because he's not a conductor!

Yes, Sims MetalAmerica is a scrapyard in Richmond, CA. The car also appears to be missing its brake rigging and end platforms, which also renders it somewhat unfit for mainline service.
And yes, the pun in the title was intended.
