I was hanging outside with a few buddies and heard the train's horn blaring for a very long time. I wish it wasn't because of something terrible like this. Ugh. I mean, stuff like this just doesn't happen in Waterbury.

Relatively - just a few years, but it's been really chill while I've been here. Maybe it's not so much in different parts of town, but downtown is quiet most of the time.

Edit: do people think that Waterbury is dangerous or something? I've never had even one problem. Granted, I might look a little scary to some people myself, tall and scruffy.

Are you just asking a question or are you saying that things like people getting hit by a train happen often in Waterbury?

I remember less the 10 years ago someone jumped off the bridge Infront of the train. Also the old mental institution used to be in Waterbury and now there is a few people left behind. If you are there long enough you get to know them. I love Waterbury though.

Not very often, but this is the second one in about 10 years on that stretch of rails in Waterbury.

Oh god- I was home and heard it and wondered what was going on. I feel so horrible for everyone involved

Yeah - I'm used to hearing the train here and there, but it sure seemed weird. I actually commented to my friends something along the lines of, "what the hell? Is there a car on the tracks or something?"

I wish it was just an empty car.
