I read this article about 3 weeks ago in the Sunday Philly Inquirer and see that it is posted on the paper's website about the 1962 Harrisburg to Philadelphia train carrying many to the Phillies vs. Pirates baseball game.  The train crashed east of Harrisburg (Steelton-Highspire) and fell into the Susquehanna river tragically killing 19 and injuring 105.

Mom and Dad subscribed to the Harrisburg Patriot News when I was a kid and I can remember reading about the accident at the time it occurred.  I clipped the news piece and added it to my scrapbook of “stuff that “interested me”.

That scrapbook along with all my model cars, ships and planes went into the garbage following my college years when mom grew impatient with my failure to “get my junk out of the house”.
