Everyone:
Rough morning on the Media-Elwyn Line yesterday (April 8th) when a car was struck by a Center City-bound train at a grade crossing in Lansdowne.
The report was that three vehicles went around downed gates after an Elwyn train passed - the third was the one hit by the train.
Most if not all of our Forum members realize that IF ITS A TIE YOU LOSE!!!...Getting the word out to impatient motorists in a hurry is the key here...
One question I have is: Do the Silverliner MUs equipped with cameras have a forward facing camera out one of the front windows that may have caught
this accident on video? From news reports yesterday on both channels 3 and 6 a nearby outside camera has some recorded video.
From the news reports the Engineer literally had split-seconds to react in this case. Fortunately no one on board the train was hurt...
