Meteor on the 22nd ( 98 ) clipped the rear of a tractor-trailer down in southeast Florida - Miami Herald had the story. That would have cost them several hours, perhaps more than that, since there was mention of a broken windshield, which probably referred to the train's lead engine. From the helicopter footage, it had three engine, which is unusual, I guess one was being sent out for major service.
