As a rare Amtrak dome on the San Diegan rolls by blocking the view of AFT 4449, the woman on the right will soon be checked out by EMTs. The story has a happy ending. She only passed out, and is able to get back on her feet and walk away. Just proves the old rule, you never know what you're going to see when you're trackside. |
