Okay guys, this is your author talking to you straight up. Do you really think this was a simple train accident? Why would a derailment happen in the early hours of the morning at the Harpers Ferry bridge crossing which also cut off access to the Appalachian Trail for North and Southbound hikers?
Are we really to believe it was a matter of poor track, excessive speed or some other explainable engineering phenomenon?
How about spirits escaping the caverns within the Maryland Heights, fluttering wings of avenging angels, alien forces or wrathful rebels assaulting the Authority?
You decide.
Hint: The most interesting view is from the cliffs of Maryland Heights.
