CBS 2 in Chicago also has video posted. Train was the Pere Marquette, #371, from Grand Rapids. P40 #8 was the unit and it rode right up on top of an empty double-stack flatcar. It looks like the 3 Superliner cars had no actual damage, but I bet it was a very sudden stop. The nose of the unit is crumpled a bit and it sounds like they might of had to cut the engineer out of the cab.
