This was a Spartanburg tradition.....I rode this train when I was a kid. I even rode it last year and I'm 33!!! This is such a tragedy how something that is suppose to be so fun and so memorable for little ones  turns into a complete nightmare..  :(

It was a church outing for Corinth Baptist Church.. There were 2 adults on the train and it was the Pastor and his wife.. The 6 year old boy that passed away was their little boy.. Benjamin Easler was the little boys name

The wife is in the hospital and is now in labor.. She was expecting her 2nd child next month..


Please keep everyone in your prayers.
