But they never found his head. A skull was discovered near the area in the early 1900's, but there was no technology at the time to definitely say if it was Bladwin's or not. The story as it was taught to me is that Joe is walking the tracks with his light, trying to find his head. When I was a child in the late Forties, there was an old man named Luther Baldwin who lived West of the Maco Loop, and he told us that he was Joe's brother. He said that every now and then he would walk the tracks and meet up with Joe, where they would chat about family and the railroad. Luther used to tell Joe that he could rest in peace, because the spirit he saw was intact, with a head. But Joe still wanders the track to this day, still looking for his head.
