Rocker Ozzy Osbourne passed away yesterday, as we continue to lose the musicians of our younger years.
His song "Crazy Train" reminded me of this historical marker on the Vestal Rail Trail, where my spouse and I spent many hours walking for exercise.

| Not a Crazy Train but a Tragic Train Wreck (taken in 2018) |
We've passed this marker many times, one that tells the story of a 1901 train wreck that took place here on Saturday, June 8, 1901 around 9:45 pm.
Here is the Ozzy Osbourne song, which is not about this train wreck.
Joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for her #WordlessWednesday.
(I'll feature a tribute to Ozzy next Monday on my Music Moves Me post).
The train wreck was awful. What a shock for the community.
ReplyDelete...the 1901 train wreck certainly was a blast!
ReplyDeleteI wasn’t really an Ozzy fan, but it’s still sad …
ReplyDeleteWe are now experiencing a wide spread train wreck in DC, if you know what I mean, lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat info about Ozzie and the Train Wreck ~ thanks,
ReplyDeletean artist reflects ~ (carol and ziggy)
quite a few of "+- my generation" musicians (from my region) died in a last couple of years.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working I answered the phone and on the other end was Ozzie. I wash shocked. I helped him and he was happy.
ReplyDeleteTerrible train wreck.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

God rest his soul! So many artists died. At least their art remains.
ReplyDeleteThey can not be forgotten.
