GEORGETOWN, Colo. — There were more than 30 people on board a car that derailed along the Georgetown Loop Railroad on Tuesday afternoon. Passengers called it a scary moment.
“We were super excited,” passenger Erin Doty said.
The family headed up to Georgetown for what they thought was going to be a fun day.
Doty said that about a minute into the ride, the train started to get a little bumpy, and rocked back and forth.
“It would take you up off of the bench, it was that jarring,” Doty’s father Earl Croy said.

Doty said everybody started to shuffle around.
“The train just started to veer off and then before I knew it, it toppled over,” Croy said.
Croy’s wife said it felt like she was dumped. Pictures show the car on its side. The family said everyone on board walked away OK.
“Kids are screaming, people are crying, it was scary,” Doty said.
The family is back home safe and sound.
“Our guardian angels were definitely with us,” Doty said.
They also say they’ll never forget the year they took a trip up to Georgetown.
“It will be a topic of conversation for Christmases to come,” Doty said.
