Check out these shots of the EMD SD70ACe turned over and derailed on UP Moffat Sub in Yarmony, Colo.
But it looks like the former SP Dash 9 survied the derailment.

Was that there intention for testing it out; how well does it derail. Answer-very well. A+ for effort.

Saw GM 72 on the Dead Line at Barnum shops in Denver on Friday. A shame really.
