I would have thought that the CN unit would be salvagable. I remember that the BNSF did up a GP60M some years back that was much worse off than that

I agree with the previous poster. That CN engine is looking a bit better than the UP engine. Then again we can only see part of the engine. God only know what the rest of the engine looks like.
|
Im pretty sure the side of the CN unit is all messed up.

One thing is probably for sure: when the crew is done healing, they'll be going in for coffee with their boss.
|
Well unfortunately they're past that. On my site the engineer describes his last moments and the ongoing investigation with UP and the potential outcomes.

I saw in Railpace Magazine's layest edition that CN is now considering repairing or retiring this unit. Does anyone know what happened to the other 7 units involvedin the wreck. Is there a web site devoted to finding out what happened to wrekced units?
|
The CN 2545 was sold to Union Pacific, becoming thier first Dash-9 sold to another Class-1 railroad. The CN 2667 was wrecked in a separate derailment and was sold to CEECO but was repaired and returned as CN 2727.

What's up with the red bird NYC subway car in the background?
|
I think this is Union Pacific 4687 as I was looking at the list of the damaged locomotives and this was the only one that was a EMD SD70M
