From the original post:
"While everyone was discussing yogurt and boxed lunches, this occurred."
I am one of the most guilty of discussing what in comparison is frivolous, but it's taken me a while to process this and post about it. I love the Keystone, I love that part of Pennsylvania, I love the farms, the river, the gentle mountains along the route....Taking a Keystone train through Lancaster County has always been a special treat for me, a local trip that can be done on a whim, a comfortable ride almost as nice as sitting in my own living room, only with much better scenery. And the calmness of the animals, the mothers coming out with their chlldren to wave at the train, the sheer peacefulness. And I love the cab cars....I did not realize how fragile they were.
So it did upset me...just took me a while to face the fact that things can happen anywhere, even on a favorite local route that always seems peaceful and beautifully uneventful. I am just thankful that the injuries were not worse and hope that the farmer and the passengers all are completely okay now.
