In early April 1988 the Sunset Limited, with more than 325 crew and passengers, was stranded in Sanderson, TX for more than 10 hours because of a freight train derailment. In response to Amtrak's request for help, the locals pulled together an old fashion west Texas barbecue for the stranded passengers and crew. Amtrak paid for the barbecue, but anyone familiar with Sanderson knows that it took a big effort on the part of the locals to come up with the chow. In addition, according to the news reports, the locals escorted some of the young people on the train to the local park for entertainment. At the time, according to the LA Times, Sanderson had a population of approximately 1,200 people. Today the population is approximately 830 people. Sanderson is not the most isolated community in west Texas.  But it is close.
