Funny Stuff from the NS-AND Route

I'm in the Norfolk Southern Atlanta North District Route running the "Dalton Delivery Part 1" scenario and I'm backing up to couple to my consist. I'm facing forward because on this loco I can't see behind so I'm coupling "by feel". Watch what happens as I approach the consist at about the 17 second mark. It looks like I'm ejected through the windscreen! !*roll-laugh*! I turn around and "something bad has happened" to the cab! I get back to "normal" by using "2" to view the outside, then "1" to get back into the cab. After that I can complete the scenario without issues. Haven't tried it on the gamer yet, I'll do that tonight during the Red Sox / Yankees game. It doesn't look like a one-time thing, it's happened every time I've tried to run the scenario on the laptop. Just funny, is all... Check it out:

Not asking for solutions, just thought it would be enjoyed by the community.

BTW - I did have to edit the scenario in order to have it complete successfully. There was a destination in the timetable, but no "stop at destination" (Dalton-Hair Siding) instruction, so the scenario would not end gracefully.

Best,
Marc

Either that or your conductor is getting even for something by "misjudging" a coupling. *!lol!*
