Drunk man goes for unexpected train ride
FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A drunk man who tried to climb over a freight train stopped at a downtown crossing ended up going for a ride when the train took off.

The 23-year-old man called 911 from his cell phone early Friday when the train reached the Casselton area west of Fargo because he was cold and wanted off, said Cass County Deputy Sheriff Shawn Getz.

Dispatchers called BNSF Railway, which alerted the train conductor.

"A few miles west of Casselton they were able to stop the train and (the man) got off," Getz said
