Alabama mayor: NYC ‘poop train’ finally empty; sludge gone
ATLANTA (AP) — The last train car full of New York City sewage sludge that has stunk up a small Alabama community for more than two months has finally been emptied, the town’s mayor said this week.
For more than two months, the sludge has blown an unbearable stench throughout the tiny town of Parrish, Alabama, population 982.
All of the containers have now been emptied from the so-called Poop Train, Parrish Mayor Heather Hall said on social media Wednesday. Some of the containers are still at the site, awaiting shipment back to the northeast U.S., she said.
