    I'm currently on Marc train 893 from Washington, D.C. to Frederick, Md. The CSX freight train in front of our train "broke in half", says our conductor. They lost a coupling! They happened to have had a spare, so we drove up alongside the lead locomotive, picked up the spare coupling, drove up to the "broken piece" and dropped off the coupling so they could make the repair. It was funny seeing the engineers on the broken down train passing the coupling over to our conductor.

    Hehe, the big boys have similar problems to us.
