Brux said he estimated he was going 60 mph for about 15 minutes before plowing through switch 1. He told deputies he did not know where he was headed and that he wanted to make Rail Link pay, the affidavit says.
How do you steal a train, and get away with it? Or how do you steal a train and escape being captured eventually???? Did he think anything through???
Yeah, dude’s not too bright. I’m from Wyoming. Messing with the railroad is like messing with the ships down at Bath Iron Works. Not smart. In the maritime industry, there’s the charge of Hazarding a Vessel. I would expect that the railroad industry has something similar since it’s possible to seriously endanger the public.
They’re saying that this guy is facing “possible” federal charges? You can pretty much count on it. And when he gets out of prison, he’ll be paying restitution for a long time (basically house payments but you’ve got nothing to show for it when you’re done).
