This quote just goes to show the age of the supposed reporter.
'The corks were popping out of the bottles like the old Jiffy Pop (popcorn) we grew up with,' Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Scott Keane said, bringing an unnecessarily obscure cultural reference into proceedings.

What's a freight train?
It's another name for a linebacker for the Chicago Bears. |

What's a freight train?
It's that biggish, longish thing that when it goes by you, it sounds like a tornado. |

All the tornadoes I’ve been caught up in have been pretty loudish. I thought that went without saying. |
