He’s missing a lot of hair, but a Siberian husky is alive after being rescued from a railroad track in Chippewa Falls minutes before a train arrived.
Police Officer Tim Strand said he couldn’t get the dog, which a caller said had been on the track for an hour and half, to move.
“I lifted his tail and hind quarters, and saw he was literally frozen to the tracks,” Strand said.
Strand pulled on the dog’s tail and was able to release him, but the dog lost a lot of hair. Ten minutes later, a train came down the track.
The dog was taken to the Chippewa County Humane Assn., where workers named him Ice Train.
