I heard that the UP is running a "Frog Express" unit train from Seattle to Oakridge. I think it's to release them into the wild and stopping them from ending up dead on the freeway. The World Wildlife Fund and PETA are picking up the bill and Ralph Machio (Karate Kid) is the celebrity face to gain worldwide attention for leap day and the "Frog Express". There are two GEVO's to be painted up in a "marsh and peat bog" paint scheme to help commemerate this special event. It will run again in 2012 when the Seattle population of frogs needs to be thinned out again. I heard this all from a very reliable source.
Then again, it could be slugs, not frogs.
