I've not done it myself, but I've been on another driver's train when it's happened. It's actually quite a worry because there is a slight chance that the fallen structure is still live, so nobody must be allowed near it even though it may wrapped round the train.
Additionally of course arrangements have to be made for all the stranded trains to be evacuated.
And since diesel trains can still run even when the juice is off, you have to try to stop your passengers from detraining themselves before the signaller has assured you that all trains have been stopped.
By the time you eventually get back to the depot and have completed all the reports & interviews you go home feeling you've earnt your money.
