AMTRAK: A sense of community among commuters


A West Chester man related the following heartwarming story.
He was on the train coming home from a meeting in Philadelphia when two young mothers boarded at 30th Street Station. Between them they had three children: a newborn, an infant, and a little boy age 4 or so. "They were packing all their mom regalia, and obviously struggling getting strollers folded and in the overhead bins. I offered to help, and then I witnessed an amazing scene. Everyone was tired, it was late, but half of the passengers pitched in to assist them. People were holding babies, schlepping bags, and offering seats."
He concludes that the world can be a sewer sometimes ... "but not tonight. Not on my train."
