Whooping it up: man rides top of train car through P.A.

A man who decided to ride the top of a train car through Prince Albert on Wednesday afternoon got some cheers from observers in traffic waiting for the train to cross.

At least three videos of the man were shared to a local social media group and show him standing on top of a train car as it exits the bridge and makes its way through town.

He can be heard whooping and seen raising his fist in the air, a ride that continued as far as the Tim Hortons on 2nd Avenue.

Prince Albert Police said the man was asked to get off the train by Carlton Trail staff and managed to do so safely.
