LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Marie Kondo, the famous organizer who has encouraged millions to look at items and discard them if they don’t spark joy, has clearly never been in Tim Linke’s position.
Because railroad cars that have taken up space at the Lincoln Fire and Rescue’s training facility for decades have failed to spark joy in the battalion chief in charge of training -- or anybody else in fire administration.
Turns out discarding an old caboose, two box cars, a flat car and a tank car -- each roughly 25 to 30 tons of metal -- is easier said than done.
