Amtrak Train Gets Lost

Earlier this week, a train from Harrisburg, PA headed towards New York City got lost in the suburbs of Pennsylvania.

According to the Huffington Post, an "Amtrak train carrying 130 people got lost last week after it traveled too far backward while turning around and ended up on local tracks in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The train . . . experienced a mechanical issue in the undercarriage of the front cab car, where the driver was."

Amtrak spokesman Craig Schulz told The Huffington Post Wednesday over the phone, "In an attempt to complete its trip, the train had to turn around so that the locomotive in the back could be at the front."

My favorite part of the whole story is that the conductor of the train had to ask for directions to get back to Philly. "The lumbering Amtrak eventually reached the Bala Cynwyd, Pa., SEPTA station. It came to a stop and received directions to come back to Philadelphia, where passengers were put on a separate train to New York."

Conclusion of the story: Everyone Makes Mistakes!
