Additional trivia?

There are likely no sources for this, which means this is hearsay, but there is likely a contaminated steam locomotive and tender on site that were used for transporting processed material between buildings still on site. it was buried sometime in the late 40s or early 50s, during which it was driven into a hole. there may also be some contaminated railcars buried nearby the locomotive. If anyone has a written source for this, please do not hesitate to add it. this was given to me as second hand info from someone who worked at the matheson high-energy fuel plant directly adjacent to the old TNT factory. they were told by a supervisor not to cross the fence due to radioactive contamination, and told them the story about the train.
