Talk about being lucky — a north Alabama man is alive after being run over by a train on Thursday afternoon. Huntsville Fire and Rescue officials said a train engineer spotted 61-year-old Arnold 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. He was later treated and released at Huntsville Hospital.
