The 1901 Train Wreck #WordlessWednesday

 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.

    I wasn’t really an Ozzy fan, but it’s still sad …

    We are now experiencing a wide spread train wreck in DC, if you know what I mean, lol.

    quite a few of "+- my generation" musicians (from my region) died in a last couple of years.

    When I was working I answered the phone and on the other end was Ozzie. I wash shocked. I helped him and he was happy.

    Terrible train wreck.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    God rest his soul! So many artists died. At least their art remains.
    They can not be forgotten.
    Thank you for this post.

    Happy WW, Alana! A fine week!❤️😘

    First Malcolm Jamal-Warner, and then Ozzy Osbourne? This has been a week...

    I did not particularly count myself among Ozzy's fans but I'm sad that he has left us. Another diminution to the world of arts...

    An icon. His legacy will live forever.

    I wish I had thought to throw together a tribute for Ozzy yesterday. It's sad that another icon in music has passed. That's the other side of living, though. Crazy Train is one of his songs that I liked. I don't know that I remember that it was him at the time it came out, though. RIP Ozzy!

    I didn't know Ozzy but I've heard tributes to him from many people this week who I greatly respect.
