I work in accessibility. I'm non binary and queer AF. The particles are a problem for some sensory processing disorders that cannot tune out motion. This is why the prefer reduced motion attribute exists. I appreciate that you and I pr

You've got a free order of magnitude issues. First, a rail car typically is closer to 100 or 125 tons. 20 tons is nothing. And the sites they are selecting likely have much more than 100 meters of vertical distance. 1,000 meters would
