P42DC 207 and 116 were involved, ultimately 207 could no longer continue, and 116 operated solo.

This one hit closer to home. My fav down for the count.
The truck driver stopped his truck while it was still fouling the right of way.
The engineer was hospitalized.
SEEN IT. Will it ever end? Of course not!
