I was on youtube and came across the Wind River Canyon derailment of the BNSF train just outside of Thermopolis, Wyoming, 12/May/2010. The lead Loco was the 4702 that went down the embankment on its left side with the cab in the river. The 4702 was in the Santa Fe colours of red cab and silver body at this time. The cause was a rock slide that blocked the tracts with a boulder the size of a pickup truck as one report stated. I'm wondering if BNSF was able to re-service the 4702? or Is this a replacement locomotive?
