I was travelling aboard the Amtrak Crescent
It had a 2:00 pm Departure from New York City Penn Station to New Orleans, La, but my destination was Atlanta, Ga.
We pulled from Penn On-time
My vacation had finally begun
I was going on an adventure that was sure to be fun
I am moving forward here
It was 1:30 am and suddenly the train made an immediate stop on the dime with precision
I almost felt out of my reclining seat, as I was fast asleep
In my passenger train car, we noticed the Conductor was pacing back and forth and moving swiftly through the car
That memory I will never erase
We asked the conductor what was wrong, and he stated, another passenger was trying to jump off the train
It all happened when another conductor was passing through one of the passenger cars, and she noticed the passenger had pulled down one of the top window doors within that specific car, but later noticed the passenger was getting ready to do a running start while the train was moving at 120 wpm.
That was when the Engineer was alerted to stop immediately
But the courageous female conductor succeeded in stopping him, but she almost when out with him in the situation
That wasn’t part of my vacation, but an accord of what actually happened aboard
However, no life loss and thank the Good Lord.
