The couple who met on a train on Christmas Day
CNN
Linda Wenger was traveling from New York City to Connecticut to visit family on Christmas Day, when she struck up a conversation with Michael McTwigan, who was on his way to volunteer at a food drive. The two strangers connected, and 10 years on they're married.
(CNN) — On Christmas morning 2011, Linda Wenger boarded a Metro-North train from New York's Grand Central Station to head upstate to Katonah.
She was in her mid-50s and had been divorced for 10 years. Her daughters always spent the holidays with her ex-husband -- Wenger is Jewish, so she didn't have much affiliation with Christmas, whereas her ex's new partner celebrated the holiday.
Wenger's sister's family also celebrates Christmas, so she always traveled to their home in Connecticut on December 25. And she always traveled alone.
