Ryan Hinchey General UP 5359 was damaged in a derailment on the CP Laggan Subdivision. 2/5/2019 1:13:22 PM
C.S. Jackson General I heard Ryan. Tragic sight. Condolences to families of rail crew. 2/22/2019 10:25:37 PM
Ryan K General Update: UP 5359 has been officially retired due to its wreck, and is now presumed scrapped. 8/28/2019 1:10:48 PM
Jonathan Alternate General 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. 5/21/2020 2:05:13 PM
Roger Roger General 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 8/17/2021 2:31:33 PM
