HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Talk about being lucky - a north Alabama
man is alive after being run over by a train.
It happened to Arnold Romine Thursday afternoon. Huntsville Fire
and Rescue officials said a train engineer spotted the 61-year-old
Romine lying across railroad ties. Witnesses said the conductor
sounded the horn and tried to stop the train.
Firefighters said by the time the coal train was stopped, 8 rail
cars had passed over Romine's body.
Miraculously, he suffered what appeared to be minor injuries and
was taken to Huntsville Hospital for treatment.
Its unclear why Romine was lying on the tracks.
