=== The Trains === Nobody's seen trains run since it happened. Nobody's seen anyone come back from walking on the tracks either. But the whistles always blow, and the trucks still stop at the tracks. It's a Rule of the Road. Those arms go down, the bells toll, and the trucks stop. A couple minutes passβ¦ The bells stop, the arms raise. The trucks rumble back to life, and keep on haulin' I saw someone try to jump the tracks while the arms were down. Nobody found the poor bastard's body afterwards. "It was horrible. We, maybe five of us on one side, a whole mess o' bikers on the other when The Arms came down. I was checkin' my map when it happened, I was lucky. I never actually saw it. All I heard was a chorus of shouting, and some horns. I looked up, and some damn fool in riding leathers ducked under The Arms.I looked away all quick-like, and the whole place went real quiet. I didn't peek over my dash until the damned bells stop driving their spikes int' my skull, and when I did, all them bikers, the ones in front, at least, had their arms across their faces. As we rolled on, I checked my mirrors. One bike left behind. I still cross those tracks every now and then, and that bike is still there. Sat in the middle of the road. I go around it. Everyone does. We all slow right on down, and remember the poor bastard who sought to remind us: Obey The Arms." βIf you break down on the rail and hear those bells, just leave your rig. No cargo's worth whatever kind of hell awaits if you stick around. If you hear the whistles, its too late.β Heard tell there's a man who walks them tracks. Real skinny feller, wears a red suit and carries no luggage.Met a guy who saw him at the rail corss, just standin there. Walked up to the guys window and introduced himself as,"Scratch."
