From Carl Williams -"Do you remember me telling you of the ticket I wrote to a train in Van Horn, that’s got interesting too They (engineer and conductor) were blocking 2 crossings, left the train for lunch and the fire trucks could not cross the tracks on a fire call. Fire chief got ticked off and call us to move the train, how much fun could we have. First and last time I ever gave a train a ticket. JP said it was the only train he ever fined too."
