There was an elderly lady that became confused, apparently, and drove down the NS Right of Way this afternoon. She was (I think) trying to turn into a local fish house and somehow confused the track as being the way into the restaurant. You'd have to see the situation to understand how she could even GET into such a predicament. The track comes off the NS mainline and CURVES around to "straddle" the street dividing the thoroughfare into a boulevard. Maybe she was blinded by the evening sun.................I dunno, but she drove down the tracks for a short distance until the Town Car almost got hung up on the rails! The gauge was fouled, but the car MAY have been able to have reversed carefully back to "solid" ground. Didn't seem to have been any harm done. They were awaiting Triple A when I left.............................. No trains due, no danger. Sure had to be embarassing!!!
