Q621-26 in Emergency
Title:  Q621-26 in Emergency
Description:  This former Chessie hopper disconnected from the head end of the Q621 after the car ahead of it (3rd in the consist) lost a drawhead. Here, the coupler can be seen wedged under the middle bay where it had been dragged. The power and head-end 3 cars are already working to set off the bad car on an old industrial spur a couple miles away.
