On Thursday, September 10, 1959, the town of Loch Lynn, Maryland, was devastated when a school bus carrying twenty-seven children stalled on the tracks at the MD 560 railroad crossing. In one of the nation’s worst school bus/ train disasters, seven children were killed and eleven sustained moderate to severe injuries. Nine escaped the bus without physical injury, but all of those in the vicinity that day were left with unforgettable images in their memory.
