EUGENE, OR -- On Wednesday at about 01:10, deputies from the Lane County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the Union Pacific railroad tracks near Judkins Point on the report of an intoxicated subject trying to drive a Union Pacific locomotive engine.

The locomotive was attached to several rail cars.

After being confronted, the subject was reported to be harassing the train crew and refusing to leave.

Upon arrival, the subject had left the area on foot.

The engineer of the train reported that the subject had snuck onto the locomotive and had depressed several levers and buttons, initiating about half of the sequence necessary to move the locomotive.

When confronted, the subject stated something about wanting to drive the train and became upset about being ordered to leave.

A deputy contacted the subject, identified as 22-year-old Caleb Gary, a transient, a short distance away.

Gary was taken into custody without incident and lodged at the Lane County Jail on charges of Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle and Criminal Trespass in the 1st degree. - The Salem News

How the fuck would some random joe know how to drive a train?

Unless, of course, he was high on cocaine.

Might and might not. There's a reason it's so very highly illegal to fuck with a signal system on a railroad. I've seen engineers freak out when they see a signal fall in their face or receive a signal not in correspondnce with prededing signal indication. If they freak and put the train into an emergency brake application because of an unexpected red board, you could be responsible for derailing some pretty nasty stuff. Food for thought.
