Even if Boxy is not a pure Labrador, what a wonderful story.
Remember, this train was a freight; how the Engineer was able to start it without "slack' and not thrown Boxy off the car to a certain demise will have to border on a miracle.

However you can be sure, considering that Obama has been cast as a dog lover, the issue will likely surface on the campaign trail before passenger rail ever does. But when all is said and done, the 'tale of Nov 6-12" will all come down to "it's the economy; stupid".
