The train’s conductor was successfully able to maneuver an emergency stop nearly avoiding a collision. 

Deering told deputies he was not driving the truck, and blamed the incident on a woman he said he met at the bar, but he didn’t know her name or where she went.  Witnesses say, Deering was the only person in the car.
