You know you're having a interesting day, when a piston of your engine, winds up going through a nearby roof. Such was the case with Canadian National locomotive 2699, when it was going through the Louisiana town of Independence, earlier this year.
Seems one of those 16 power packs decided to fail, sending the cylinder head airborne into a yard, and the piston crashing through a roof and lodging into the wall of the nearby house. The series of pictures below illustrate the damage.
