Now, he had to search it out. Carl Naylor narrowed his eyes, peering through the onslaught of icy rain at the tracks stretching out before him. There had been reports of vandalism from this section of rail, in this remote part of northern Ohio, one of the areas where a complexity of old and new rail lines connected. An incoming driver had called it in. By the time the message had reached Carl, it had been garbled, and the driver’s phone was off. So, all he knew was that there was something wrong, somewhere, within this section of train track near the junction. Carl had set out into a late fall rainstorm to do a safety inspection. "Most likely just a loose jointbar," he muttered to himself through numb lips, as he trudged along the tracks, ducking his head to avoid a gust of the icy rain. The new tracks in this section had all been joined together with the old, a few years back now, using the metal jointbars. It was his opinion that someone had done a shoddy job. There were a few of them that had worked loose in the past few months. "Safety risks," he muttered, wishing someone else had been on duty this particular morning. This weather was vile. Carl had finally gotten around to having a haircut, two months overdue, and now he was regretting that his thick, dark hair was no longer curling over his neck and his ears, which felt exposed, and freezing, even under his waterproof hat. But storm or no storm, long hair or short, he couldn't ignore any safety risk that might interfere with the running of the trains. And although vandalism was unlikely in this remote, rural part of the world, Carl’s favorite expression was never say never. There were psychos out there who would take glee in destroying a section of track and watching as the train veered off it. That, he knew. Folks were strange. In his opinion, you should expect the worst from humanity. Carl
