A train was stopped near Highway 85 and 112th Avenue for at least two hours on Monday. Firefighters say this problem has been going on for years.

Nothing new here. Seems like every old head I know could tell a story about getting "trained"; usually at the worst possible moment.
Decades ago (before 1977) I heard Engine 5 tell Fire Alarm they had just been hit by a locomotive!
I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the troops explained this one to the Chief. They were stilled out to a trash fire in the old Southern Pacific RR yards, just up Hardy Street from the firehouse, in broad daylight, in an open cab B Model Mack, and still managed to get picked off by a slow moving switch engine.
