| Post subject: | Z train mishap |
Taking advantage of the sun today I stoped by University to try my luck. After 15 min of sitting I was drawn to the scanner by the DS saying "I just got a call the back of your train is sitting at Hanson Blvd". Puzzled I listened some more, the NTWPAS was asking the Z train now at Coon Creek if they think they are still on the rail. This statement made me start driving to Coon Rapids. Apon arriving I spotted the back half of the train resting on the rails on main 2 with the other half shoving back to with the first half. The problem a dwarbar failed, placing the train into emergency and causing minor damage to one car. They where able to get the train back togather and limp to Midway for repairs and continue to Chicago. |

That must of taken a nice chunk out of the crews time to work. Sounded interesting though. Alec |

They had to change crews at NTW before heading to Midway so yes it did. |
