There is a major rail spur in Angleton. Sometimes undocumented immigrants hop the trains on their way into the U.S., sometimes getting off in Angleton, hungry, thirsty and tired. Several years ago, a young Mexican man fell under the wheels of a train while disembarking and lost a leg. When last heard from, he was still in Angleton, working in a restaurant. He received a prosthetic leg in the hospital, where some concerned Angleton residents helped him out.
