I love to go down to my local Harvey House rail station and watch the trains thunder by every 5 minutesAll of them are well over a mile long and one was even 9 miles! Why are trains over in Europe only 10-20 cars long? It just seems inefficient compared with the very long american trains.
Yes, just wash, and goBut are you referring to it 'holding up' after being heating, or are you speaking of a health affect? The molecular structure of metals changes after heating, impact, etc., but not enough to fret about in this caseA trace amount of aluminum does end up in the food cooked, but not enough to fret about once or twice.and if you are concerned about that, try seeking out a 'heavy metal detox remedy' Over long-term consistent use aluminum has fallen suspect to doing harm, but a short-term occasion.?.you'll have to judge for yourself.I don't know if more aluminum leaches out due to having been heated onceAluminum has been used in cooking a long time, both heavy pans and light-weight thickness right down to foil If you have a unique mold idea you could use on other occasions, or get ideas for molds for other occasions like holidays, birthdays, or special events, it may be worth your time to invest in a little food-safe clay to mold a permanent baby there.Most ceramics places will guide you and even fire it into permanency for youIn the case of the subject of your current mold, I am suspecting humor Don't let shyness stop you from giving birth to a booming business.it sounds like you're the creative type!
As David S says, the USA is a vast country compared with countries in Europe, and the railways developed on your side of the pond in a different wayThe west needed to be 'opened up', so the railroads were built as cheaply as possible, which meant miles and miles of single trackThe USA - for its size - has a low average population density - some of the mid-west states are larger than the UK and yet have a total population lower than most UK citiesFor this reason, trains generally travel long distances between stops, so the incentive has always been to run long trains so as to get as much cargo (freight and passenger) between point A and point B at a timeThis is especially true on the long single-track lines with few passing placesAlmost all UK and European lines are double track at least which means that shorter and more frequent trains can be operatedThis is expecially true of passenger trains - even long distance trains running 300-400 miles run every hour on the more-popular routesIn the USA it is sometimes only every few daysYou could perhaps compare the USA's railroads to an elevator - only travels one way at a time, with one loadIn Europe, the railways operate like an escalator - a continuous conveyor belt with a small load on each 'step', and travelling both ways at onceHowever, I would challenge your observation of a train NINE MILES long!
