ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY 100 years ago, 26 individuals lost their lives and more were severely injured when two trains collided along the Reading Railroad Newtown line in Bryn Athyn. Members and friends of the Old York Road Historical Society and the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust met to commemorate the tragic event.
