out?” Rep. Clint Hackney, a candi
date for the Texas Railroad Com
mission, asked about the safety of
railroads in Texas.
Hackney expressed his concern
about the neglect of railroad safety,
especially as trains travel into the
21st century carrying hazardous
waste, toxic materials and nuclear
waste. He spoke Tuesday afternoon
at a sparsely attended press confer
ence at the College Station Ramada
Inn.
“Right now, about 10 percent of
all cars that travel on our (Texas)
land, passing through cities and xich
farm land, contain toxic materials,
hazardous materials and nuclear
waste, in some cases,” Hackney said.
“And every month we have more
than one derailment.”
run through the mid lie of A&M, in
creasing the chances of railroad
crossing accidents.
Hackney said he wants to help
prevent the number of railroad
crossing accidents at A&M and
throughout Texas.
“I pledge to do everything I can to
see that the tracks through A&M are
lowered,” he said.
Lowering the tracks will make
crossing easy and, more importantly,
safe, he said.
The Texas Railroad Commission
met with University and railroad of
ficials in November and asked them
to resolve the situation, The Battal
ion reported Jan. 18. A committee of
state, city, University and railroad
officials was formed to examine al
ternatives for improving the dis

So far, Texas has been fairly lucky
to escape disasters such as derail
ment of railroad cars carrying toxic
and flammable materials, he said.
But Hackney is worried that a severe
accident will have to occur before
something will he done to help pre
vent such accidents.
Hackney also is concerned about
accidents at railroad crossings, which
occur more frequently than derail
ments.
“I don’t think it’s hard to bring
that home to the people of Bryan-
College Station,” the Texas A&M
graduate said, referring to the two
accidents that happened several
years ago, both within a day of each
other.
The railroad crossings were not a
main concern when Hackney at
tended A&M in the early ’70s, he
said, because the tracks ran through
the back of campus. Now the tracks
In January, Carol Zeigler, Texas
Department of Highways engineer,
presented to the College Station City
Council a proposal to lower the
tracks and Wellborn Road into a 26-
foot trench. The plan won compli
ments from council members and
was favored bv the Highway Depart
ment. But no action has been taken,
and the plan has not been formally
accepted or rejected by University
officials.
Hackney, a member of the state
legislature for the past four terms
and an attorney in Houston, said im
proving rail safety is a priority. One
way to do this, he said, is to design a
better transportation system for the
future.
“I want to bring our private com
panies to the same table as the Texas
Railroad Commission at no cost to
the taxpayer, with our (Texas) uni
versity researchers, and design a
workable, more efficient, transpor
tation system,” he said.

Detective finds living ‘corpse’ in search for dead girl
FORT WORTH (AP) — Detective
Mike Garvin is usually all business,
but when a “corpse” he was photo
graphing turned her head, the car
ing person behind that gruff facade
quickly emerged.
Until a CareFlite ambulance heli
copter arrived to take 13-year-old
Ashley Dozier to the hospital, Gar
vin, 43, remained on his hands and
knees next to her, consoling and
comforting her.
“Garvin told her she was the pret
tiest thing he’d ever seen and she
just smiled through all that caked
blood,” Sgt. Paul Kratz said.
“Every time she said she was cold,
officers stripped off their coats to
cover her,” he said. “When she said
she was cold again, they were peel
ing off their shirts. Even the senior
deputy chief (B.J. Kirkpatrick) was
down in the ditch holding the IV
pack, taking orders from the nurse.”
But it was Garvin who stayed by
Dozier’s side. A crime scene photo
graph shows him crouched in the ra
vine with the back of his hand ten
derly pressed against her cheek.
Kratz said of Garvin, a 21-year po
lice veteran: “This guy never smiles.
But for two hours afterward, he
never quit grinning.”
Dozier, of Benbrook, was found
in a gully nearly 24 hours after she
was kidnapped and brutally as
saulted. She was in stable condition
Tuesday at Cook-Fort Worth Chil
dren’s Medical Center.
Meanwhile, Garvin continued to
question witnesses, process evidence
and compile the case against a 16-
year-old arrested in the case.
Hours after his arrest Saturday,
the teen-ager led Garvin to the ra
vine near where Interstate Highways
20 and 30 meet in east Parker
County. The teen had told police the
girl was dead and, from the descrip
tion of the beating, they didn’t doubt
him, Kratz said.
“He took me down there, pointed
to her and walked away," Garvin
said.
hanked by eroded dirt walls nearly6
feet high. Her blond hair was matted
and her pale face caked with dried
blood and dirt.
She was partially clothed and had
been beaten with rocks, sticks and
possibly a tire tool, Kratz said.
“Garvin established a rapport with
him (the 16-year-old), and he agreed
to show us where she was,” Kratz
said. “We went out there with no
doubt in our minds that she was
dead. He had described what he did
to her and said she was dead.
“We were kind of down that we
were going out there to see this pre
tty little girl and see what he had
done to her. And to find her alive ...
“I got the camera and she didni
blink when the (lash went off,” said
Garvin, who has a 19-year-old
daughter.
“I go. to within about 4 feet of her
and then she turned her head and
looked at me.”
Kratz said Dozier was able to talk a
little and said, “I thought I was going
to die, but then I knew I couldn’t.”
Dozier lay on a bed of gravel
Garvin was assigned the case early
Saturday morning, after Dozier had
been kidnapped Friday night behind
a pizza restaurant in Fort Worth.
The 16-year-old was arrested the
next day after one Dozier’s class- j
mates identified his car.
