Looking to hop on a train to escape from Lena and his newborn child near the end of Light in August, Lucas Burch heads for a particular spot: "the crest of a grade where the northbound freights slow to a terrific and crawling gait" (433). It is also at this location that Bryon Bunch tries in vain to stop Burch from fleeing his responsibility.
