Scores of ‘bama residents are feeling crappy about a train full of New York sewage stalled in their backyards for the last six weeks.
“I never dreamed someone could flush a commode in New York, and it would run out in my backyard,” West Jefferson Mayor Charles Nix said at a recent public hearing, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The stinky tale stretches back to late 2016 when a privately owned landfill in the town of Adamsville began accepting Big Apple poop by the trainload.
The city Department of Environmental Protection said in March that it was pinching off its shipments of stool to the Big Sky Environmental landfill.
But a legal dispute has kept dozens of train cars filled with rotting sewage sitting idly in a rail yard in the town of Parrish, sending a stomach-churning scent wafting over nearby backyards and football fields.
“It smells like dead animals,” Parrish Mayor Heather Hall told The Journal. “You smell it and you’re looking for a dead dog or dead deer.”

The stench has soiled life in Parrish in ways large and small, according to The Journal.
A local man showed up at a football game wearing a mask.
A woman appeared at a public hearing for a permit renewal for Big Sky toting a bag of flies she said had been swarming around her home.
Steaming mad over the poop problem, area mayors stomped off to the capital of Montgomery in the hope of receiving the equivalent of a gubernatorial laxative.
But the powwow with Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey led to no immediate solution, leaving the mayors in a bind.
“We didn’t produce it,” said Hall. “We don’t want it here.”
The court battle at the center of the poop storm focuses on the legality of loading the feces-filled train cars on trucks and hauling them the final 25 miles to the Adamsville landfill, The Journal reported.
New Yorkers need not worry about a train full of month-old excrement rumbling back into town.
The Department of Environmental Protection, making it clear that city sewage flows in only one direction, said it won’t accept any return shipments.
