I've seen what ignition of liquid C3-  can do.  The fact he survived is a mircacle by itself.

"East Glenville" looks to be the former Delaware & Hudson, now CP Rail main from Schenectady north to the Canadian Border.

That's gonna mess up train traffic for a while.

Right. I figured they would recover him with a brush and a dustpan.
