OK, who cleans out the cab?

Amtrak train hits empty cattle truck near Malta - that's Malta, Montana:
MALTA - A westbound Amtrak train struck an empty cattle truck about five miles east of here Saturday afternoon, breaking the locomotive's windshield and flinging manure into the cab.
...
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said the crash delayed the Empire Builder for two hours. Amtrak borrowed a freight locomotive from Malta to lead the train westward because of the broken windshield on the engine.
No to mention the "difficult working conditions."
