Old People, Change and Blogger
Old people don't like change, simple as that. You become use to doing common task one way and it has always worked and you don't see any reason to change it. I am very much that way and Blogger, the platform this blog, is on has once again made changes to the way you enter a post, and the way you find your way around blogger. I have no desire to re-learn the new steps required to utilize it so over the next few days you may see some confusing posts. I had thought about shutting down this blog back in January so maybe this will be the final straw that will encourage me to do so.
1966 Train Derailment In Blades
The accident is under Investigation. Railroad repair crews called to the scene to help clear the tracks, believed that the accident was caused by too much speed maneuver when an attempt was made to join two sections of cars. The pile up barely missed a collision with a high tension power line, which might have created a serious problem.
Troopers said the 40-car train was backing from Seaford to Blades to recouple with some of the freight cars when the accident occured. Blades police said the brakes apparently failed, and the two section collided.
The derailment occurred where the tracks cross River Road, and blocked it to vehicular traffic until the scene was cleared about 7 p.m. Cranes and equipment from the Melvin Joseph Construction Company, Georgetown, were used to raise the cars from their wheel units so the latter be placed back on the tracks.
Two of the cars arched into an inverted "V" over the crossing for about three hours before they could be lowered. Blades police and a trooper from Bridgeville maintained traffic and pedestrian control at the scene while the cars were set back on the track.
R. M. Kettlet, assistant superintendent of the Pennsy lower Delaware Division attribute the accident to human error. He said damage to the six derailed box cars would amount to $3,000.
N. H. Emory, of Delmar, was identified as engineer of the train, E. L. Davis, Delmar, Brakeman.
