Reading about railway travel, it sounds like it was not for the faint of heart. These pictures kind of confirm that!

I really should renew my newspapers.com subscription but I've been doing so much work with photos lately that I haven't had the time for researching to make it worth the money. I know they need our subscription dollars to be able to keep adding content, though, so I think I will sign up again soon.Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697991371218997461.post-64117003081823087212016-10-16T11:32:56.520-04:002016-10-16T11:32:56.520-04:00Seeing these photos makes me extra-glad that the r...Seeing these photos makes me extra-glad that the railroad tracks that used to run close to my house have been removed to make way for a walking trail.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697991371218997461.post-61964041851709338812016-10-16T11:16:54.753-04:002016-10-16T11:16:54.753-04:00Oh my goodness!

I wanted to come over here to yours and see what you had recently posted and found these incredible photos. I can't imagine you won't find some newspaper articles on this crash. Even U.S. newspapers probably would have carried something. Hope you feel better soon.Diane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697991371218997461.post-43855678381176129992016-10-15T12:22:26.812-04:002016-10-15T12:22:26.812-04:00Wow, and those look like passenger cars, so I can ...Wow, and those look like passenger cars, so I can imagine this made headlines.
