Why are railroad tracks frequently mentioned in Bigfoot sighting accounts?

What is the connection between the Jacko incident and Bigfoot?
The Jacko incident refers to a small, ape-like Sasquatch reportedly captured alive in the 1800s near Yale, British Columbia. The story has become folklore, often linked to Bigfoot sightings, though detailed investigations have failed to produce substantial evidence.
What did the Native American legend say about the Oklahoma Snakeman?
The Native American Seminole tribe believed in human snakes, malevolent creatures that could be half-snake, half-human or shapeshift between the two. These legends resemble the description of the snake-headed humanoid reported by Adam Myers in Oklahoma.
