“It’s the Miracle of North Station ... it’s just another example of a good deed done by an MBCR employee.” Hugh Kiley, GM of the MBCR
Some holiday magic came early for Katelyn Peckham after she lost her engagement ring on a commuter train to work yesterday, but got it back safely on her finger with the help of social media and the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail staff.
“I just can’t even believe this happened,” said a shaken Peckham, hours after being reunited with the diamond ring, an heirloom handed down from her mother.
“I’m so thankful. It’s awesome people were willing to help and the conductors were so helpful.”
Peckham, 25, who got engaged in May, said she was riding to work on an 8:30 a.m. train to North Station when she took the ring off and placed it on her lap so she could use hand sanitizer.
While applying the anti-bacterial, someone came to sit next to her.
Politely, Peckham said she stood up, and the ring rolled away.
“I didn’t realize it until I got to work. I sat here crying hysterically for awhile,” said Peckham. “Then I went back and started running through trains asking people to help me look.”
While Peckham dashed back and forth between random train cars, frantically searching on her hands and knees, her co-workers at Conover Tuttle Pace took to Twitter and Facebook to ask for help finding it.
A T worker saw the online callout and announced the search over the intercom at North Station, informing the train crew.
Moments later, conductor Thomas Booth found the ring on the coach the bride-to-be was on.
“It was almost the worst day of my life,” she said.
