While visiting the website www.manlaws.com (I love those commercials!), I stumbled upon the following. In the bios of the "square table" members, there was this guy:
"Mr. Renteria - While working for the railroad in 1978, Mr. Renteria was performing a routine inspection of the tracks. He ended up on the same piece of rail, head-to-head with an oncoming freight train, piloting a vehicle comprised of not much more than a golf cart sporting railroad wheels. Thanks to a stunning feat of bravery normally contrived for action-movie heroes, he lived to tell the tale and earn a slot at the Square Table at the same time."
Unfortunately, they don't give his first name. I tried to Google him to get more information about the incident, but didn't come up with anything. Anybody ever heard of this or know anything more about it?
