The offender was described by the engineer as a male wearing a dark shirt, shorts and gym shoes. He was able to run across the tracks without being hit by the train.
Extra police searched downtown, but no word on an arrest. Police were looking for the man to write a citation.
No reports of any injuries on the train, which also sounded the horn as it came to a stop.
