  • VERY, VERY LUCKY... Fate was apparently smiling on a Bucks County man on Sunday night. According to the Courier-Times, the unidentified male was traveling southbound on PA 413 near the Langhorne Rail Station in Penndel at around 9:10pm when his car reportedly stalled on the tracks. As his car stalled, the #4169 R3 West Trenton (8:58pm from West Trenton) train bound for Center City and the Airport was approaching the Langhorne Rail Station. Thanks to quick action by Middletown (Bucks) police and Bucks County dispatchers, the #4169 was able to stop about 150 feet short of the PA 413 crossing. Few details were available, however police in Middletown (Bucks) were reportedly preparing to file charges, stating that alcohol was probably a factor. To say this guy was lucky is a major, major understatement...
