Well it looks like Sw14 1451 needs to return to Paduca, Kentucky where she was rebuilt when she worked for Illinois Central. Most SW14s were rebuilt from wrecked IC switchers, if the cab was badly damaged the new cab was built in house. The shops did not have the ability to roll the EMD roof radius, so the new roof is of flat panels.

How did this one fit in with the BNSF crash? was it going the other way or did one or the other train actually go in after the first crash?
