I think someone tried to crank that train up with ether without pulling the grid heater fuses.

We have an acronym (derived from the following phrase) in the patch that covers these "Mechanical Malfunctions"

Structural
High
Intensity
Tear

The proper usage would be;

(Insert acronym here) is about to happen or recently happened
