SEATTLE — Firefighters have rescued a man who was trapped for about 18 hours upside down in a parked rail car in Seattle.
The fire department says the man apparently crawled into a chute on the car, which is designed to carry dry bulk materials.
About 8 a.m. Wednesday dispatchers received 911 calls from the nearby Burke-Gilman Trail where people heard someone yelling for help.
Rescuers found the 25-year-old with his feet sticking up.
Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore tells he was stuck overnight in a confined space.
Firefighters pulled him out by his feet. He was stiff and cold and checked out at a hospital.
