track, discovered a broken rail at a
point where the embankment was
forty feet high. He knew that a south
bound train was about due and ran up
the track to flag the train. He used
his red lined coat as a flag, and to
make sure that his signal would be
seen by the engineer, he held the
coat aloft on a stick. leaving himself
unprotected in the binding storm and
zero temperature for more than an
hour, because the train was late.
The passengers made him handsome
presents and each shook his hand.
