An Amtrak train en route to New York City from Harrisburg made a wrong turn last week and got lost in the Philadelphia suburbs, officials say.
According to CBS’ Philadelphia affiliate, the train left Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station, apparently missed a signal and accidentally wound up on tracks used by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
The train, with 130 passengers on board, stopped at a train station in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., where local crews helped the crew return to Philadelphia. Passengers were put on a different train and arrived in New York several hours later.
Uh oh
” Just roll down the damn window and ask for directions!”
When we don’t know where we’ve been how can we possibly know where we’re going? Take to 60 vote rule in the Senate for example. That rule was put into effect by the Democrats in 1975. There were 61 sitting Democratic Senators at the time. Bet we all thought that the Republicans were responsible for taking us down the wrong track didn’t we?
“Unaccountably the passengers all appeared to have aged twenty years during their trip, and they described having passed through a dark turbulent cloud shortly after leaving Harrisburg.”

Well, ya see, the engineer, no one on the train in fact, controls the switches on the rails. Somebody in the rail yard programmed the wrong route for the train or they got hacked. Either way, it’s the nightmarish stuff disaster movies.
