Scott Sherman, a 56-year-old off-duty police sergeant, tragically died after being struck by a commuter rail train in Abington, leaving behind a legacy of dedication.
The Berkeley Daily Gazette reported on a tragic train accident on December 4, 1924, where a collision left at least eight dead and many injured. Preliminary inquiries showed that while warning signals were operational, the Short Line conductor may have failed to stop in time, leading to the catastrophic crash of the San Francisco-Sacramento Short Line train into the rear of a stopped Key System train.
