First it was a carload of steel accidentally derailed and dumped into Quartz Creek at precisely the worst possible point in the lower canyon, a jagged, rock-ribbed, cliff-bound gorge where each separate piece of metal had to be hoisted out singly by a derrick erected for the purpose a process which effectually blocked the track for three entire days.
"You givin' it up because you had some fuss with her, or anything like that?" "No, Red. I say tell her, because it's square. Did she stop to ask questions when I was in trouble? No. She went to work to help me, quick. I guess we care more for her than a whole carload of gold." "Well, I guess. Once I wouldn't 'a' stopped to worry about whose gold it was.
As you'll have no use for the teams, it would be a good time to haul in some of the seed wheat. I've a carload coming out."

Several cars of lime reached the city and many more were en route from different points. A carload of ambulance supplies was on the way from Cincinnati.
