In a letter to the press Miss Susan B. Spring recounts details of an accident on the Lackawanna line. She and her attendant moved toward a dining car when a conductor said their table would be ready in five minutes. The vestibule door reportedly opened and the swing of the train around a sharp curve possibly threw her from the platform.
