The stink is so terrible that it smells like rotting animal carcass and this is no exaggeration of the actual event. The town is currently hosting 10 million pounds of human feces which arrived in a local rail.

The whopping amount of human excreta has been stuck in the yard for over two months and sees so sign of saving the people of the town. And adding to the embarrassment is the fact that it is not even their poop. The entire population of the town is 982 residents and it would take around 27 years for them to collectively produce that amount of waste.
