I guess if it works - great-??

Although - Not too pretty


Nor too environmentally friendly, I should think.

The Crowsnest River has an area where the bank is lined by ore cars.
They are filled in and overgrown now, but you can still see them. The
fishing isn't too bad in that spot either.


Oar cars. Hm.....

Presumably, you're referring to railroad cars. Take the trucks out
from under them and the're just steel boxes. Seems innocuous enough to
me. Automobiles are another matter entirely.
