Boys escape, take joy ride in locomotive
Associated Press
NELSONVILLE, Ohio – Two boys walked out of an unlocked juvenile detention home and took an early-morning joy ride on a train – until authorities tracked them down.

The boys managed to start up the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway locomotive early Tuesday after breaking through a side door into the building that houses the engine, said Sgt. Edward Kurtz of the Nelsonville police.

No cars were attached to the engine, which usually hauls tourists.

The tracks go by the windows of the city police station, and Hocking College police also noticed the engine rolling down the tracks.

“That’s very unusual. The train runs only on weekends,â€

Let's see, what have we learned here?

•You probably shouldn't try to escape by literally TAKING A TRAIN.

•If you do take a train, you probably should go the other way, NOT PAST THE POLICE STATION.

•If you do take a train, you probably shouldn't take one on a weekday that ONLY RUNS ON WEEKENDS

•If you do take a train, you probably shouldn't BLOW THE HORN AND WAKE EVERYBODY UP

•If you do take a train, probably not wise to STOP FOR SNACKS along the way

"They caught us! How'd they ever catch us? We took a train fer Gawd sakes!"
