A drunken Alberta man who passed out on the train tracks was somehow uninjured after being run over by a train on Sunday evening.

The man was spotted between the rails just outside of Elko in southeast British Columbia by the Canadian Pacific train conductor who sounded the horn and hit the emergency brakes.

The train could not stop in time and rode over the man. By the time it stopped, he was found by CP personnel under the 26th rail car.

"The guy seemed to wake up and he got up, grabbed his beer and headed on his way," said RCMP Sgt Dave Dubnyk.

Unbelievably, he avoided major injuries.

"He's of fairly slight stature and the train went completely over top of him. Amazingly, I don't know how you wouldn't wake up even being that passed out drunk, how you wouldn't wake up from that train rumbling over top of you with the brakes screeching."
