Oakway #9062

Can anyone shed some more light on the OWY #9062? I have heard it was wrecked in 1994 but haven't been able to find any articles on it anywhere.

OK,Max (coborn35),  Your information on OWY #9062 being wrecked in 1994 may be accurate(?).   Here is site that may offer you some place to look further, and possibly, get more confirmation on the unit's fate:   @ http://oakway.qstation.org/

I found one photo set of #9062 (dated 1989); in this website's "Action" section. The updated section [9 August 2007] "Roster" (post 2007) has no additional photos of #9062.

Hope this info will help.

Join the LocoNotes Yahoo group and ask this question.  Someone there will know definitively.

Here is a lead that may help you, the 9062 wrecked on June 8, 1994 in Norway NE.  Cannot locate any details...yet.  It was retired/removed from roster in Aug of that year.
