I'm amazed it doesnt happen more often, given the number of drunk people using trains, and the overcrowding.

I lived in Boston for two years and except for homeless people never actually saw anyone drunk! There's no doubting this woman was legless though, bet the poor driver had a heart attack!!

That'll be a hell of a story to tell at the AA meeting!

Fortunately mother nature gave me a very good 'better out than in' reflex when it comes to alcohol, so dont think I've ever got to that stage...

Now first a little warning, I am not usually moved by much but this made me feel sick.

So if you think she was lucky, how about this little nipper

Nightmare!

Impossible to believe that the baby escaped, but he did -

"The six-month-old boy was left with only minor injuries, despite the train dragging the buggy 60 yards along the rails."
