"Poop Train" full of NYC sewage raises stink in Alabama town

PARRISH, Ala. (AP) A stinking trainload of human waste from New York City is stranded in a tiny Alabama town, spreading a stench like a giant backed-up toilet and the poop train is just the latest example of the South being used as a dumping ground for other states waste.
In Parrish, Alabama, population 982, the sludge-hauling train cars have sat idle near the little league ball fields for more than two months, Mayor Heather Hall said. The smell is unbearable, especially around dusk after the atmosphere has become heated, she said.
Oh my goodness, its just a nightmare here, she said. It smells like rotting corpses, or carcasses. It smells like death.
Would New York City like for us to send all our poop up there forever? she said. They dont want to dump it in their rivers, but I think each state should take care of their own waste.
Alabamas inexpensive land and permissive zoning laws and a federal ban on dumping New Yorkers excrement in the ocean got the poop train chugging, experts say.
