Number 8339 is still in "Clinchfield" paint at the time pf the accident, but may have been renumbered. The black unit at the right side of the photo has very faint lettering, but An E and COAS are barely visible, thus it is probably an ex- Seaboard Coast Line unit.

Thomas has previously posted another view of this accident as photo ID 15526. How these locomotives ended up like this has intrigued me ever since seeing Thomas' earlier photograph.

Great photo Tom.

Number 3001 is a BQ23-7 only 25 were built.

Actually only 10 BQ23-7's were ever built for the SCL.

The black locomotive is and SCL SD45-2. You can tell by the fan spacing.
