While the other riders had to walk to the station at Roosevelt and Wabash, Boylan and his friend Harold Krewer, 50, of Addison, were removed from the tracks with a fire truck cherry-picker apparatus because Krewer has difficulty walking. Others were walked across railway down to the station at Roosvelt and Wabash…they have not all come out yet.



Many of the people on board were or are professional railway people including Krewer a retired Amtrak employee.



Boylan, who is a museum member, said that the ride "got very bumpy," but he said there was no chaos.
