The
high school activity buses and one full-size bus carried the team
and the cheerleaders. Getting off the interstate, they pulled
into the Steak 'n Shake and became part of a hero's parade.
The buses were then
accompanied to the high school by fire trucks representing the city
of Lincoln, Lincoln Rural Fire, New-Holland Middletown, Hartsburg-Emden and Patrick Doolin in his fire truck. Also in the
parade were the Lincoln Police Department, Logan County
Paramedics, a semi truck and an untold number cars, vans, pickup
trucks and one RV.
The parade continued to gain
momentum as more cars joined in and followed behind
as the parade passed through town.
Before they joined the parade,
honking of horns could be heard along the sideline, along with
people leaning out of their cars, shouting and clapping. Those in
parking lots waved their arms or "Go Railer" banners. As the
group passed through the heart of the city, the marquee at Lincoln
Theater 4 delivered the message "Railers Our Champs."
