May 17th, 2023. Quince Road, There was an Amtrak train oncoming, and there was a red vehicle that was stuck on the tracks. The train then flew past the vehicle, at regular speed at 78 miles an hour (126 kilometers per hour). Nobody was in the car at the time, but it made headlines on television stations. Similar situations have occurred like this, but with injuries. On December 19, 2007, an Norfolk Southern train hit a truck, on Quince Road. No hazardous materials were recorded, thankfully. Unfortunately, the driver was injured and the total damage cost is unknown. However, understandably some people have sometimes been careless to drive, walk, or bike across without looking both ways before crossing. Like this for example, on September 13, 1981, around 4:00 AM, a motorcycle had crossed the tracks of then Conrail, but the motorcycle was stopped on the tracks, dead. The driver, then moved away into an area where he couldn't get attacked by the train where it smashed into the vehicle. The train was recorded to be going around 30 miles an hour, or 48 kilometers an hour. The driver survived the collision without injury, but the damage cost was estimated to be somewhere between $450 to $600. But, there has been worse seen across the country. Because of this, new crossings has been either upgraded, or closed off. This is one reason, exactly 2 months prior to the previous incident. On July 13, 1981, a pickup truck was attempting to go across the tracks. The case, was most likely the radio was very loud and couldn't hear the train horns. As soon as the driver crossed the tracks, a Conrail train hit the vehicle with the driver inside the vehicle. Luckily, the train was going under 20 miles an hour, or 32 kilometers an hour. Unfortunately, he was injured and the total damage was between $2800 to $3200. Some people has been killed, but either they had a vehicle, a bike, or just walking. A similar incident almost occurred during the summer of 2023, but it was spotted by a rail spotter. However, one day in 1976 things took a toll Luckily, no damage cost was reported. On May 19, 1976, at about 6:30PM a Conrail train slammed into a "truck". The driver did not stop on the tracks, which there are now signs posted everywhere including now at the site. The train was travelling at 45 miles an hour, or 72 kilometers an hour. There was about 70 cars on the train, which is normal today and back then. A total of around 3 locomotives were included with the train accident. The driver was injured, no damage cost was reported.
