Not exactly AMtrak, but. . . . .

A amn brandishing a bow and arrow took over a UP freight train near Montclair, CA. Crew escaped and alerted police. Police cornered the guy, shot and wounded him. He;s being held for armed robbery and, believe it or not, train robbery!

Maybe now UP will start moving freight trains instead of holding them at high-crime signals.

Maybe he was a victim of a severely-delayed Coast Starlate or Sunset Limited courtesy of the YouPee and wanted a little revenge! I have heard passengers onboard the hours-delayed longhauls (those who knew what was going on and why they were being delayed, that is) make all kinds of threats toward the YouPee for the incompetent dispatching. Maybe this is just the first to actually be carried out?
