Detroit -- A top fire department official minced no words in criticizing a firefighter who parked a truck on a set of train tracks while responding to an accident. The fire truck was subsequently hit by a train.
...
The fire truck was crushed by a passenger train late this morning in southwest Detroit. The train resumed its trip to Chicago around 3:00.

I guess this is a question for the train guys on here. When a train hits something like a vehicle does the engine undergo a special inspection afterwards? (similar to our prop strike teardowns)

Besides the paint do the engines typically suffer major damage?
