The end of NYC Mohawk 3029
Posted by rogerhensley on Friday, August 15, 2003 8:40 AM
On May 10, 1954, NYC 3029 leading train #78 met her end at South Anderson on the South Wye as she arrived. The switch had been unlatched and moving at 15 mph, the end came for a blueprint engine. The best of the L3b's said Maurice Lewman.

I have added three decent photos of the derail on the Michigan Division, South photo page of my Railroads of Madison County site at: http://madisonrails.railfan.net/

3029 was never returned to service.
