AMTK 816, one of Amtrak's 40 P40DCs (later upgraded to a P42DC) was leading the eastbound Zephyr when it struck a semi on a grade crossing just east of Keensburg. The unit derailed and fell on its side. As you can see, it sustained some pretty significant damage, particularly at the back of the long hood.
