Reading all of this reminds me of a incident that happened around 1993 in the Los Angles basin. I heard this transpire on the scanner, both the SP road channel and the LAPD channel. I never heard anything about it in the main stream media(big suprise) or the railfan media. But this is what I heard: About 1am or so one night I heard a train crew call the dispacher to have the cops sent to a overpass somewhere around Dolores. The dispacher insisted on having a reason to do so. After a bit of back and forth the conductor gave this explaination: He stated that while the train was going under the underpass someone started shooting at the train (loco I assume). The engineer suddenly produced a gun of his own and returned fire. Well it turns out the engineer was a better shot, and hit the person that started shooting at the train. After a few minuets I heard the LAPD dispach a unit to the scene. When the PD showed up they called the dispach requesting phsyciatric assistance. It seems the engineer had fallen apart after the incident beliving that he had killed the man. But as it turned out the guy was alive and the injuries were not that severe. And if i remember right the man was going to be charged with shooting a firearm and reckless neglagance. Not the kind of charges this idiot deserved. But I would be willing to bet he will never shoot at a train again. Sorry the engineer had to go through that, But I salute him for taking action, more people need to do that in todays world.
