Train Passes Over Drunk Man Passed Out On Tracks

May 25, 2012 at 8:46 am by  

Train Passes Over Drunk Man Passed Out On TracksElko, B.C. – An intoxicated man in his 20s is very lucky to be alive after passing out on a railway near Elko, British Columbia, and then being run over by a train.

It was a long weekend here in Canada and this guy was doing what we Canadians do best, drink beer and camp out. The Alberta resident had apparently wandered to the tracks after imbibing heavily. The man’s choice in bedding, however, was ill-advised to say the least.

A Canadian Pacific Railway engineer noticed the man laying between the rails ahead of the train, sounded the whistle, and attempted to stop. But by the time the heavily loaded train was finally came to rest, the locomotive and 26 cars had already passed over the man laying on the tracks.

Expecting to find a gory mess, the CP Rail engineers investigated and got an even bigger shock when they found the man still intact — and still sleeping. After one of the engineers grabbed the man’s arm, he woke up.

Still intoxicated and a bit confused, the man got to his feet, grabbed his beer, and then just walked away, according to RCMP Sgt. Dave Dubnyk.

RCMP officers managed to apprehend the man a short distance away and held on to him until he sobered up. The RCMP said his slight build allowed the train to pass over him, and his placement between the rails was incredibly lucky.

“I’ve never seen the likes of it. Until this, I wouldn’t have known that a person could actually fit under (there) especially the engine of the train. They look like there’s very minimal clearance,” said Dubnyk.

Charges are pending, but it is unclear if it will be for mischief, trespassing or public drunkenness. The man’s name has not been released.

      Fuck you, The Lady Dragon!

      (thanks for the write up!)

      This train must not have had a cow catcher.  I knew a guy who dove under a moving train to get away from a group of people who were kicking the shit out him and he would have been fine except the train had a big hook that came down off the center of the car and hooked him.  In the end, parts of him were found all along the way until the train could get stopped.  Very gruesome.  To bad this guy wasn’t awake to realize what a dumbass he is and how lucky he is to still be breathing.

      Oh f**k the visuals that I just had! 

    • JGo555

      Lucky motherfucker.

      It seems the only one that can survive a train are drunks & drunks who own Pitbulls kicked out of the “Winged Hellspawn Demons Pitbull club”.

      And Hello There, to @TheLadyDragon:disqus 

    • TheLadyDragon

       Thanks folks.
      And shit yeah this guy is lucky.
      Hope he doesn’t get any ideas, I think he used his luck quota for life.

    • Snickering Hydra

      Slim build, huh? Wasn’t expecting that.

      Drinking alone must be dangerous, or this guy just has terrible friends.

    • sugarpie

      I know right.  I (thank God) was not there, but my friend was held up in traffic from the train and she got out because she saw a jean jacket (yea, it was that long ago) and walked up to it to find his lung still in side.  Talk about nightmares!

      Engineer: “Lucky for this guy the big hook was on our *other* train. We call it the meat-catcher – clears the tracks like you wouldn’t believe.”

      If you’re going to keep on writing shit about Canada..

      Screw you. I already hate this country.

    • Prominent Prozac

      He’s not lucky. It was this countries Super Moose TO THE RESCUE!

    • TheLadyDragon

       Move?

    • Sam

      Cripes! But, the jean jacket – did it look good on your friend?

    • Sam

      So a locomotive and 26 carriages thundering over him and he sleeps soundly, but a gentle jarring of the shoulder wakes him right up? Huh. Guy must be deaf as well as stupid.

    • Valerie

       Slim build? I’m thinking meth.

    • Valerie

      Welcome  TheLady Dragon!!

    • TheLadyDragon

       Never been that drunk eh?

    • Sam

      Huh. I see your point. I fell asleep during what later turned out to be the loudest scene in The Crow, in a movie theater that apparantly was trying to wake the whole neighbouring town up. Still baffles me to this day how i managed that.

    • sugarpie

      Hahahaha – she tried and tried, but just couldn’t get that nasty blood stain out. 

    • OutOfBubbleGum

      Because of the Mexican Corona lawsuit over the use of a lime and the “NOW” strictly enforced Canadian copyright laws, Canadians are now forced to seek extreme means of keeping flies away from the top of their beers.

      Fuck you.

    • JohnQknowitall

      Only a Canadian could have survived something like this because they are all evil and have sold their souls to Satan.

      I pray for them often.

      “A Canadian Pacific Railway engineer noticed the man laying between the rails ahead of the train, sounded the whistle”

      Of course this man couldn’t wake up.  If the train left Ontario, he needed a proper translation from French to English train whistle?

       Don’t waste your breath, we’re all damned.

      dang.
      this is the kinda story that should make me swear off the drink. 
      but actually it’s having the opposite affect.  
      cheers indeed.

      Welcome, Lady Dragon! 

    • Prominent Prozac

      I would, but the poutine..

    • Wildheart

      I fell asleep at a Zebra concert at a small club in Louisiana….and I wasn’t drunk or stoned.  I guess I can literally sleep through anything.

      Welcome Lady Dragon! Nice write up!

    • onlyme356

      How do you not wake up? Even if you’re drunk, that’s just strange. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t though or he probably would have gotten his head plucked off.

    • kimbev69

      Welcome to hell and a hearty fuck you lady dragon! Nice write up

      If this were me my tits would have been in the way lol

      Obviously the man was laying under the train and between the tracks and not directly on the tracks. The only luck is that he did not wake up and was not laying on the tracks directly.
