Book excerpt: Train Track Rescue (TV Episode #208) Sixteen-year-old Joe Terry of Merced, California was sitting on his front porch when he noticed two small neighbor children playing on the nearby railroad tracks. Although hearing-impaired, Joe heard a faint train whistle. He reached the children and scooped them off the tracks only an instant before the train reached them, in a rescue so close that the train engineer stopped down the track to report that he'd hit several children! Also included in Vol 10: Up In Flames (TV Ep #203) Brothers Kris and Kelly Cheater of Stoughton, Saskatchewan (Canada) were marking a field for their father, who was flying a crop-dusting plane. To their horror, their father's small plane caught on a power line, flipped upside down and crashed -- then burst into flames. The two boys had to pull the burning plane apart with their bare hands to save their father. Hero Babysitter Twelve-year-old Katrina Attaman of Anaheim, California was playing outside when she heard the woman next door scream for help. She ran over to discover that her neighbor's two-year-old son -- a child for whom she often babysat -- was at the bottom of the swimming pool. Katrina used skills she'd learned in her Red Cross Babysitter's Course to administer artificial respiration until the baby started breathing again.
Download or read book Running with Trains written by Michael J. Rosen and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the grass greener on the other side of the train window? Even a brief brush with a stranger can change our lives. It's 1970, and Perry feels adrift in turbulent times: his father is missing in action in Vietnam, his mother is studying to become a nurse in the city, his older sister has become a peacenik in college. Traveling between his hometown, where he lives with his grandmother, and his mother's house in Cincinnati, Perry notices Steve, whose farm lies on the B&O railroad line. Steve likes to race the train as it blows by his fields; Steve skillfully sends his collie after an escaped cow; Steve watches the Cincinnatian, longing for its speed, longing for adventure. In alternating voices, Michael J. Rosen's poems weave a tale of two boys—one wishing for the stability of home, the other yearning to travel—and the unexpected impact of their fleeting encounter.

Download or read book The White Cascade written by Gary Krist and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told story of one of the worst rail disasters in U.S. history in which two trains full of people, trapped high in the Cascade Mountains, are hit by a devastating avalanche In February 1910, a monstrous blizzard centered on Washington State hit the Northwest, breaking records. The world stopped—but nowhere was the danger more terrifying than near a tiny town called Wellington, perched high in the Cascade Mountains, where a desperate situation evolved minute by minute: two trainloads of cold, hungry passengers and their crews found themselves marooned without escape, their railcars gradually being buried in the rising drifts. For days, an army of the Great Northern Railroad's most dedicated men—led by the line's legendarily courageous superintendent, James O'Neill—worked round-the-clock to rescue the trains. But the storm was unrelenting, and to the passenger's great anxiety, the railcars—their only shelter—were parked precariously on the edge of a steep ravine. As the days passed, food and coal supplies dwindled. Panic and rage set in as snow accumulated deeper and deeper on the cliffs overhanging the trains. Finally, just when escape seemed possible, the unthinkable occurred: the earth shifted and a colossal avalanche tumbled from the high pinnacles, sweeping the trains and their sleeping passengers over the steep slope and down the mountainside. Centered on the astonishing spectacle of our nation's deadliest avalanche, Gary Krist's The White Cascade is the masterfully told story of a supremely dramatic and never-before-documented American tragedy. An adventure saga filled with colorful and engaging history, this is epic narrative storytelling at its finest.
