Ridin' the rails - illegally

By Billie Owens

Someone hitched a ride on a CXS train and the engineer called dispatch, asking that an officer be sent to where it will be stopping in a couple of minutes at the Wilkinson Road crossing in Batavia. The engineer wants to speak with the alleged scofflaw, who is said to be riding behind some semi-trailers the train is hauling.

UPDATE 2:50 p.m.: An agent for CSX is going to the State Police Barracks in Batavia to press charges against the suspect.

It used to be a quick way to get to Leroy from Pavilion...gotta hit Dargan's Hotel! Or Leroy Bar & Grill.

Then to figure a way to get back home... sometimes not so easy. Ha!

You're a scofflaw if you choose to not use your seat belt as a free American..etc.

A person who flouts the law, esp. by failing to comply with a law that is difficult to enforce effectively.
