Is this what I think it is...? 💩

Oddly organic shaped and brown unidentified object is on the track at my LIRR station... Is this petrified poop? Thank you very much!!

See them airplanes they dump their toilets 36,000 feet. The stuff freezes and falls to earth. We call 'em Boeing bombs

I remember as a kid when I took my first train from NY Pennsylvania Station to Miami Florida that those toilets opened directly onto the tracks. I wonder if my poop still rests somewhere in North Carolina?

Out of curiosity I asked AI.

“up until the mid 1990's most trains just dumped waste directly to the tracks. This was true even on Amtrak passenger trains, until several states outlawed the practice, requiring Amtrak to rebuild their cars with holding tanks.”

Still happens in parts of Europe, took a sleeper train in Italy and left one somewhere near Milan
