In breaking news our train fanatic reports...
October 17, 1962: A fire at the Tech-35th station on the North-South Route traps a train at the station, which also becomes damaged by the fire. The lead car is 6453; it was so badly damaged by the fire that it was retired on April 5, 1963 as a result of the incident. Its mate, 6454, was used by itself in tests of the Automatic Train Control system, then renumbered 6721 and mated to 6722 (former 6310).
NO mention of any concern about human life or injuries or health concerns, just an in depth concern that the poor train was trapped and caught fire and had to be retired and its mate had to be renumbered..... OH the calamity and heartbreak ?!?!?!?
Try that with todays news.
