Agreed that this was a very unfortunate event. While these locomotives are simply machines that can be replaced with relative ease, there is no replacement for the lives of the crewmen lost in this accident. Imagine what the final moments of the crew would be in the lead unit before they derailed. Terrifying.

In the derailment, 5359 suffered severe damage to its rear frame and carbody as grain cars compacted against it. A massive hole was also poked on the left of its cab. A write off for sure
