Sitting Just Off Center
Train derailment in Pennsylvania
Sitting Just Off Center - This happened in Pittsburgh in 1979. No one was hurt, although the four ladies playing cards in the little kitchen on the left were rather lucky that day (everyone was a winner!)
Sitting Dead On Center - At the next intersection just up that road, about 3-4 months later, this was the scene on Center Ave.
Some days are luckier for card games
