A Missouri man has been arrested after getting into a locomotive of an Amtrak train in south-central Nebraska and pulling the emergency brake, stopping the passenger train. Amtrak staff detained 25-year-old Taylor Wilson of St. Charles until deputies from both Furnas County and Harlan County could respond. The Furnas County Sheriff’s Department says the incident took place very early Saturday morning in Oxford.

According to authorities, Wilson was traveling from Sacramento, California to St. Louis.
