Amtrak wants to know how one of its trains took a wrong turn and got lost in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Worried and baffled were most travelers at 30th Street Station Tuesday night.
Mike Roberts of Coatesville said, “Wow, that’s crazy. That’s not professional at all. How could that happen?”
It sounds wild, but Amtrak officials confirm it did happen and what they can tell us so far is this: Amtrak Train 644 that left 30th Street Station for New York City accidentally ended up on the SEPTA tracks. The train actually traveled several miles before the mistake was finally caught and the train stopped at the Bala Cynwyd station.
Peter Menendez of Princeton, NJ said, “I think mistakes happen, I come from that industry and the utilities and it’s hard to coordinate systems like that. I feel bad for those folks.”
