Diabetic Man Kicked Off Train Found Alive

I love how it's Amtrak "policy" to leave people in the middle of freakin nowhere - miles from anything! I could understand kicking an unruly drunk off at the next stop - but in the middle of a national park?? "there was no train station or running water [where they left him], which is about two miles from the nearest road, at an elevation of about 8,000 feet."

 

[q url="http://www.kpho.com/news/13592475/detail.html"]A 65-year-old St. Louis man who Amtrak personnel kicked off a train in the middle of a national forest in Williams has been found dehydrated and disoriented two miles from where he was dropped off.

Amtrak officials said train workers followed policy when they put off the train a man they thought was drunk, but the man's family says he was in diabetic shock at the time.[/q]
