Account
A railroad engineer was pulling a heavy train slowly through the Berkshires at night when a tall dark-brown biped stepped across the tracks without touching them. It glanced toward the headlight and kept walking briskly before disappearing. The witness kept the sighting secret for about twenty years fearing job consequences.
