[PRCo] Re: Interurban Accidents

Not if you are on the crew John.   The first accident that the new  
management of the Strasburg Rail Road had to contend with in 1958 or  
1959 was a man who was driving along Pa 741 outside of Strasburg PA  
and elected to drive past two railroad men with blazing fusees and  
under a railroad boxcar.    As I recall, his action separated the  
brain housing group from the rest of the body.

The most common accident on that railroad was really nothing  
outstanding.  The did, however, keep a doctor on call to handle  
cinders in the eyes.  They were pretty much routine.

Jerry:   How much more of this can you stand?
