The thistles collect in the cuts and be-
coming tangled with the rails and ties
form an interviewer mass that stops

would likely be able to force it's way
through the drift. but for the fact that
the smooth. tough fiber and oily seeds
of the Russian thistle make the rails
SO slippery that the wheels of the en-

only way that the train can get
through is for the crew to go ahead

trains is causing great annoyance to
