    The smashed up CSX unit at 10:06 was certainly headed into Rice Yard to be removed for repair, as the restricting signal they had would indicate. They didn't just hit a branch, they hit one massive tree with that much nose damage. There's two large crash pillars in the nose, just inside the nose door. The CP grain train that parted and went into emergency shows why we're taught to keep pulling when an unplanned emergency application happens. The rear of the train might keep moving far enough to crash into the front part if you stop too fast. The storm at Deshler near the end was part of a system that generated at least two tornadoes, straight-line winds of nearly 100 mph, and over 300K without power in NE Ohio.

    The brake line separation emergency stop was about the most orderly I've ever seen. If it was a coupler or coupling pin, they must have had spares on board.
