So true - I was at a local HO club's exhibit layout at our county fair last week, and they were running a long train of ore cars. Came uncoupled at about the midway point, and I tried to get the operator's attention without success, until finally I said "Hey - You're about to rear end your own train!". THAT got his attention.

Hope nobody got hurt and both crews walked away!

Looks like 5325 was running Cab Hop.

This may have spared the F7s and the caboose
from leaving the rails.

Those EMD SD7s & 9S have pretty stong main frames.
The 5325 will most likely only require costmetic
repairs and be back in service in no time.

Looks like someone is going to be on the street for awhile!
