The railroad is our only way in and out. In the bad flood of 1997, we walked the railroad tracks into town and rented a condo for three months.

Railroad tracks aren't anything to be playing with.

There are some guys that you'd lay across the railroad tracks for and there's a bunch of them in that senior class.

Apparently the turn was misjudged and they wound up lodged on the railroad tracks. They tried to free themselves apparently, but they couldn't before they saw the train coming. Two of the people in the vehicle did get out of the car, but one passenger did parish when the car was struck by the train.

People used to laugh at me when I walked around tracks trying to pass out my business card. We probably won't beat Tony Stewart, but that's not going to stop us from giving it 100 percent.

He had to roll up his pants and wade through flood waters to get to the taxi,
