Showing posts with the label train derailment

Yes, That's a NWS/Military Weather Radar

If you saw this photo in The NY Post   and elsewhere today, you may have noticed the large ball to the left of the derailment. The white fiberglass structure is the cover over the antenna of the Ft. Campbell WSR-88D, one of the primary weather radars used in our nation. Fortunately, there is no staffed weather office at this location. The radar's signals are sent to military and civilian weather offices remotely.
