Putnam International Trailway Strikes Deal to Build State-of-the-Art Creek Crossing

PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO - The executives at Putnam International Trailway have announced a groundbreaking deal with Norfolk Southern Corporation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to build a new state-of-the-art creek crossing at the track facility. The catch? The construction materials will be made from contaminated waste material from the recent train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

"We're thrilled to be able to offer our fans and drivers even better access to the track with this new creek crossing," said a Putnam International Trailway executive, who asked to remain anonymous. "And we're even more thrilled that we get to do it using recycled materials. It's a win-win for everyone."

According to the EPA, the contaminated waste material poses no risk to the creek or the surrounding environment, but some locals aren't so sure.

"I mean, come on, who are they kidding?" said a local Putnam County resident. "They're going to use contaminated waste material to build a creek crossing? What's next, toxic waste as a track surface? It's ridiculous!"

Despite the concerns, the executives at Putnam International Trailway are confident in the EPA's assessment and say they're excited to move forward with the project.

"We totally believe the EPA when they say that Cranberry Creek won't be contaminated," said the unnamed executive. "And even if it is, hey, we've got the fastest 1/8th mile in Putnam County. Who needs clean water when you've got speed?"

One of the drivers at Putnam International Trailway expressed his hope for a beautiful rainbow sheen in Cranberry Creek after the construction is completed. "I've seen videos of creek beds in East Palestine with this gorgeous shimmering rainbow effect, and it could add so much to the atmosphere of the race. I'm really looking forward to seeing that in Cranberry Creek once the new crossing is built, especially since the sheen will match the color scheme of my race car."

While some may question the decision to use contaminated waste material in the construction of a new creek crossing, it's clear that the executives at Putnam International Trailway are determined to keep their track facility on the cutting edge of speed and innovation, no matter the cost.
