Imagine losing your right leg at age 15 by way of a train car cutting it off. Marshall, who is 57 years old today, recalls the night that he lost his leg.

WGNS' Scott Walker took Marshall, whose last name we are not using, on a ride back to the Tennessee Fairgrounds in Nashville to the area of where he lost his leg in 1974 by trying to jump onto a moving train.

During the ride, Marshall explained his life and his start of a new life after the loss of his leg (4 Minutes in Length).

Marshall lives in Mt. Juliet today and has a prosthetic leg. However, he told us that he is still in pain on a regular basis.
