(The Associated Press circulated the following on February 10, 2009.)
TULLYTOWN, Pa. Police say a Philadelphia-area commuter rail employee was injured in a fall from a moving train, but used her flashlight to wave down another train and get help.
Tullytown police Sgt. Daniel Doyle says the woman fell from a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority train just north of Levittown, 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia.
Police found her hat, a shoe, train schedules and a ticket punch along the tracks. Doyle says the woman was knocked unconscious, but regained consciousness and waved down a later Amtrak train with her flashlight.
An ambulance took the woman to St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown. Her name wasn't released, and authorities say her condition wasn't immediately available. The tracks were closed for about an hour, reopening about 10 p.m. Monday.
I bet she was pushed, probably by a younger employee who wanted to gain a turn. It is getting brutal out there. I am keeping an eye on Troll, even though he has a family.
