Now it gets interasting the Commuter Train I was on had Mechanical Problems so it left with No Power then it died on the Terminal Tracks then it leaves and goes to the yards. The new Cab Car was setting something off in the Unit so they try to yank the cab car off then they voted to just yank the locomotive so during that I caught some stuff.
