9/29/12

The morning got somewhat "exciting"! There was a medical emergency on the train. (Possible stress or heart problem - I never heard.) 421 met the EMTs at a grade crossing (a dirt road) out in the middle of nowhere.

The EMTs first stabilized the passenger before taking her to the ambulance. As I was in the Dining Car on the side where the ambulance was, I saw the woman was alert when put into the ambulance!

This (necessary) delay put 421 back about 1 hour. This occurred prior to Longview, but due to padding and being given green signals, 421 pulled into FTW right on time!

Then it went downhill when we stopped in AUS. Jim Hudson got on board for the remainder of the trip!
