A train operator at the Union City station spotted the trespassing turtle on Saturday stopping the train in its tracks. Crews successfully recovered the adventurous, but slow-moving, reptile and temporarily housed it in the lost and found section until a staff member from the Ohlone Humane Society took over to assume responsibility for the turtle's well-being.
According to the track supervisor, a turtle on the tracks is unprecedented during their 27-year tenure at BART.
