How many gallons of Dullcote would that need?
wouldn't surprise me if some renegade BNSF modeler sabotaged that engine's run so that he could have a new, one-of-a-kind prototype to model.........

Or perhaps a view of the underside in order to complete his detailing...

I was thinking it was pretty cool to see the underside of a loco myself!
I should have mentioned nobody was hurt in the derailment. I was told the locomotive unit had no crew aboard it as it went in the Yellowstone River in Montana. My friend, Gus, forwarded the pictures to me by email.
From what I heard the derailment occured at the rear of the train - the C44-9W was a DPU pusher running remote.
Saw lots of these - two in front, one pushing at the rear - last year when visiting family along the former MILW mainline (now BNSF) in north-central S. Dak. on both unit coal and grain trains.

Looks LOTS cheaper than buying some more Bragdon self-adhesive chalks .

Tom View my layout photos! http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/mm310/TWhite-014/Rio%20Grande%20Yuba%20River%20Sub One can NEVER have too many Articulateds!
Here's how I see it.
Weathring is so simple, even the BNSF can do it!
However did they know I plan to use that exact same proceedure to weather the loco I accidentally ran right off the layout??!!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
LOL, that's hilarious!

Yes, absolutely! ...Not.
Luckily, this was a DPU locomotive, and not the leading unit in the train.
Oh so funny how they lost a multi-million dollar piece of equipment and cost another chunk of change to recover it.
Just think, if the bank they were on would have slid, then all the other machinery could have gone into the water too, potentially hurting even more people.
Photos like this often are the "humble pie", reminding us how important it is to stay alert (awake ) and be focused on where you are and what territory is around.

Look closely -- the bottom of the fuel tank says "Made in China!"

Loosin' up, will ya? It's not good for the BNSF, and it would have been bad if someone had been in it, but nobody was. It's hilarious (yes, I have a twisted mind )
