You are working train M-BRSWIN from Barstow to Winslow today. Industrial chemicals and petroleum are your main haul, with a few empty cars destined for their shippers' spurs.

It has been foggy and raining this morning, west of Flagstaff. Just when you think you are making good time, there's trouble on the tracks and your schedule is blown. Amtrak Train No. 4 is both in need ...and blocking the main. The engineer lost power just west of Truxton in the curves. His trailing unit wasn't loading and now the traction on the lead unit has overheated. You happen to be the closest, and you can spare power, so you are IT!

Dispatch does not want to wait for extra Amtrak power to arrive at the stalled train. The closest Amtrak power is near Winslow, so to save time and get the main cleared, your help is greatly needed. The extra Amtrak units will meet you at Seligman to take over the train. Your train will get a fill-in crew out of Seligman. They will arrive via a Hy-Rail crew truck at Truxton. Everything gets back to normal at Seligman where the Amtrak train will get two fresh units and you get your train back. The traffic on the subdivision is stacking up making it difficult for dispatchers to keep the high-priority trains moving. Trains are end-to-end east of Darling after a Dash 8 has major problems while moving a string of loaded coal hoppers. A supervisor is on the scene as eastbound trains are being routed to the other main. You can't count on an ordinary day today.
