A Humorous Train Story

One of the conductors I used to work with once told me a similar story to the original. <br /> <br />They were around Woodstock, Ontario, when the engineers applied the emergency brakes, then, having been traumatised by having seen the incident happen, called back to the tailend to do an inspection. <br /> <br />None too pleased, and fully expecting to see the worst, she trudged to the front of the train. Sure enough she found a farm tackter, but no farmer. "Are you guys sure there was someone in the trackter when we hit?' <br /> <br />"Oh, yes! We saw his face" they said, obviously quite spoocked by the event. So our conductor looked around. Looked high in the trees, off into the bushes for any sign. In frustration, she kicked her feet in the snow. HANG ON HERE! There were foot prints. Not her's, but large boot foot prints in the snow, leading away from the trackter. She followed the prints all the way to a farm house. <br /> <br />Feeling quite shocked, currious, bemused and running on an adrenalhine high, she opened the front door to the farm house to find a snow suit on the floor which looked as though it had been hastily taken off. Surrounding the snow suit was a puddle of melted snow. She looked up and found a farmer, his wife, and their two kids at the breakfast table eating their cereal. <br /> <br />"Excuse me sir, were you just on that trackter that just got hit by a train out there?" <br /> <br />"Aw, yup." <br /> <br />"Well, sir, there's an ambulance on it's way for you....." <br /> <br />She swears it's true story! <br />-Toronto
