I looked at the Safety Data Sheet for ethyl acetate mentioned by Joel in this months magazine. It has hazardous properties to be aware of.
 

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

I was recently out of town on a scouting trip to find hunting and fishing locations in eastern Montana.  While I was out on the eastern side, I decided to take a couple hours one day and detour to the extreme western edge of the Soo Line at Whitetail, MT.  Other photos exist of this line, but I haven't seen any taken during the last few years so I was interested in seeing what the track conditions were like.  While the line is not abandoned, there is very little, if any, traffic west of the MT/ND border.  Even so, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the track was
