Bill Miller Places His Car on The Train Track

Bill Miller decided a train was taking altogether too long to cross a street as he waited 15 minutes in a line of traffic. So, after the train passed, he drove his pickup truck onto the track, locked the doors and walked the rest of the way to work. Cars could get by, but trains could not. A crewman from a halted freight train telephoned police and complained the truck was blocking their path. Police traced Miller through the pickup’s license number and convinced him to move his truck after the train had to wait 20 minutes. (Encyclopedia of Illustrations #14106).
