Funny story from my home state.... had to share.

A 25-year-old Pennsylvania man ventured onto a closed road Sunday afternoon in search of good fishing at Bald Eagle State Park.  Soon after, his pickup truck became stuck on railroad tracks. 

He unsuccessfully tried to dislodge his truck for 45 minutes when the faint sound of a train whistle forced him off the tracks.  Moments later, a train plowed into the empty vehicle.

Fortunately, the man nor any of the train passangers were injured.  However, the truck’s owner is suffering from a bruised ego and now faces a trespassing citation.

The man told officials he knew the road was closed, as the signs clearly indicated, but decided to “give it a shot” after hearing about the fishing spot.  He later described himself as a “local idiot just trying to go fishing.”

This is one fishing tale I suppose he will not be bragging to all of his friends about in the days ahead. 

And the moral of the story… follow the signs in life.  Literally and figurately speaking!
