1. First thought: I hope Joe wasn't on the train

Of course he wasn't, and everyone's okay. But a train to Delaware from anywhere will always be "Joe's train" in my mind.

2. I've only lived in the Delaware Valley for 72 yesrs

And I have no recollection of anything which looked like the photo. Hmmm. Something may be going on with “transportation”.
