I only recently learned of this horrific event. It’s heart wrenching. Vince Coleman’s last message as the train dispatcher really puts a lump in your throat
It’s local lore here. That’s why Nova Scotia sends Boston a Christmas Tree, a tradition since the early 70s.
Boston dispatched a train up there immediately with medical personnel and supplies and got it there less than 2 days later.
I was really impressed with their memorial interpretation.
Landscaping and graphics. Two of my favorite topics.
