Now here is an article I'd like to see more often:

SHELBY, N.C.    Officials say a man who survived being hit by a train now faces charges, including trespassing.

The Gaston Gazette reported that a train hit 50-year-old Anthony Gerome Sanders of Gastonia on Thursday evening. He was treated at a hospital for injuries and was released Friday.

Police say Sanders and a woman were walking on the tracks, which Norfolk Southern owns. They say they woman got out of the way, while the train clipped Sanders.

He's charged with trespassing on a railroad right of way and impeding the operation of a railroad.
