Trucker on Route 7 spots a sasquatch on railroad tracks 10 miles north of Steubenville

The witness, a truck driver hauling oil, was driving north over a bridge in daylight when he looked down at railroad tracks and saw a large hair-covered figure standing in the middle of the tracks looking uphill. The sighting lasted about 1.5 seconds as he passed at 55 mph, and he tried unsuccessfully to get another driver on the CB to confirm it. He later compared its height to oil railcars and estimated it at no less than 9 feet tall.
