Eastern Railroad Discussion > Amtrak 29 Hit Lumber Truck in Brunswick, MD

Yesterday, 8/3/22, about 17:00 hours, Amtrak 29 hit a lumber truck that was stopped on Maple Ave. across #1 Main in Brunswick, MD.  The lumber truck was pushed into a smaller truck which was then pushed into the station, built in 1893 and now owned by the city.  As I understand it there were no significant injuries.  I don't know how much damage was done to the station.  Apparently the lumber truck was stopped behind traffic.  I have not been down to the station yet and have no pictures.  There are some pictures published by the Frederick News-Post newspaper.  Gerry
