Emergency Situation - a photo on Flickriver

            Amtrak 49 went into emergency after a brake line became disconnected while crossing the diamond at Wire. I heard a crew member say "This has happened before. Each time being the trailing end of a Viewliner when attached to an Amfleet Car". 
 They corrected the problem quickly and Chicago Dispatch had them back on their way with minimal delay.
