DRUNK MAN NEARLY GETS AWAY WITH TRAINJACKING EUGENE, OR -- On Wednesday at about 01:10, deputies from the Lane County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the Union Pacific railroad tracks near Judkins Point on the report of an intoxicated subject trying to drive a Union Pacific locomotive engine. The locomotive was attached to several rail cars. After being confronted, the subject was reported to be harassing the train crew and refusing to leave. Upon arrival, the subject had left the area on foot. The engineer of the train reported that the subject had snuck onto the locomotive and had depressed several levers and buttons, initiating about half of the sequence necessary to move the locomotive. When confronted, the subject stated something about wanting to drive the train and became upset about being ordered to leave. A deputy contacted the subject, identified as 22-year-old Caleb Gary, a transient, a short distance away. Gary was taken into custody without incident and lodged at the Lane County Jail on charges of Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle and Criminal Trespass in the 1st degree. - The Salem News
Welcome to Trainboard RR Redneck. Wow - a drunk engineer is bad enough but a drunk non-engineer.....Good thing the crew got back when they did.
The problem here is they'll turn that loser back out into our society again. Using some dimwitted excuse. That's the real threat to us. :sad: Boxcab E50
