MIAMI, Fla. — Miami-Dade detectives arrested two men who they said stole a CSX locomotive on Monday morning.

The investigation began when a CSX security officer reported the locomotive stolen from a railroad turnaround in Southwest Miami-Dade County.

The locomotive was later recovered.

On Wednesday, detectives arrested 23-year-old Alex Johnson Self and 22-year-old Brandon Dowdy and charged them with grand theft. Additional charges included burglary, interference with railroad track and other equipment and unauthorized persons interfering with railroads.

No injuries were reported.
