Account
"The next day the whole scene apparently was repeated but with two different workmen and at a spot farther down the tracks" (2283) Fred Brabant and Milton LaSalle were at the scene several days later. At the first location rain and shoe prints had destroyed tracks, but at the second there were 3 prints visible on a 30 percent slope of gravel down from the tracks. LaSalle, who is a soils technician, made the weight estimate.
