CALGARY — A drunken Alberta man who passed out on the train tracks was somehow uninjured after being run over by a train on Sunday evening.
The man, from Crowsnest Pass, Alta., was spotted between the rails just outside of Elko in southeast British Columbia by the Canadian Pacific train conductor who sounded the horn and hit the emergency brakes.
The train couldn’t stop in time and rode over the man. By the time it stopped, he was found by CP personnel under the 26th rail car.
As a heavy drinker myself, I have to say I actually have more respect for this guy than those guys in Europe who purposly lay on the tracks and film it.
I think my favorite part of this story is the guy picked up his beer, which he wisely left off to the side, and just went about his business after all this.
