For example, the 'front coupling bug', where the locomotive's front coupler would not work, the 'white void bug', where the route scenery disappears, leaving a white void, and the 'end-of-the-line bug', where the locomotive, if it crashes through the last buffers on the route, would fall into an empty void.
