Wow! No serious injuries or fatalities is unbelievable. Can see why 246 wasn't rebuilt.

Won't imagine if the falling rock hit the coaches

Thanks for sharing Steve. An interesting tidbit is I took a tour of Amtrak's Beech Grove facilities in 1992 or so. We were told that the employees there put up a large tarp to cover their efforts so visiting Washington, D.C. folks would not see that they were rebuilding the 301. The totally cannabilized the 246 for parts to build a new 301.

Man...I wouldn't have thought there were any parts left to cannibalize from that poor locomotive.

This train wreck was on "display" at Denver Union Station for quite some time before it was removed. I wonder if it ever discouraged anyone from riding on Amtrak!

Look at that bent frame! No wonder 246 was written off!
