The boss who fell asleep on a railway track. . .

I saw this on the drudge report today:

This would add some "exitement" to an operating session.

 

Merry Christmas!

Cool "almost but not quite off topic" diversion. Thanks for sharing.

Only a drunk could find that a track rail would make a nice comfortable pillow...He's lucky that his brains didn't end up as locomotive truck lubricant ....chuck

What's almost just as wacky is the article stating that the "staff spent 1/2 hour trying to wake him up.  Rail traffic had to be diverted......." 

Trains winded up being delayed 4 hours. 

I guess that railway has some strict policy's dealing with transients.  BUt it seems easy that a couple of the railway workers present could have picked him up, carried him away from the tracks to safety, and let the trains run.   They could have easily claimed that they were protecting his life.

The world gets crazier by the minute

i think they should have added "he was dragged off the track" then they tried to wake the idiot up, and to think toilets on trains flush onto the track YUUUUUK
