Train traps woman in her home

A Florida woman, 66, said she has to crawl between two railroad cars in order to go anywhere from her own home after being trapped by the cars.

Aretha Brown said a train parked 40 cars on the tracks that run in front of her Callahan house on Dec. 27 - and just left them there.



Brown said she must crawl under the cars even to go to her own mailbox, or else walk 20 minutes to get around the train. She struggles to keep her Sunday best clean when she goes to church. It's very difficult making her way under the train with a bag of groceries.

"My house is falling apart and I can't get anyone to come and make repairs because they won't climb under the train," Brown said.
