This is a short route replicating a real NJ Transit crash that was caused by teenagers pranking the driver. They threw the switch right in front of him and put the train on a siding while it was driving at 60mph. It crashed into a hopper car and derailed into a factory. In this route, you'll be driving as the engineer and see what he might've seen in this situation. For more info, see:
