I've heard 66 may be a write off following an accident.

November 30, 2007 – United States – Amtrak train No. 371, the Pere Marquette, strikes the last car of COFC freight train on the Norfolk Southern (ex-PRR) line near 65th Street in Chicago. Two people in the cab of P42DC No. 8 are injured, and many passengers are injured, including three critical. The crumple zone design of the locomotive is effective and prevents worse results. The engineer was running at approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) in a 15 mph (24 km/h) zone due to confusion about the meaning of a signal.

IIRC, it was in Illinois and hit a truck at a crossing.
