"DOINK"...OUCH...DOH!
Posted by Trainnut484 on Saturday, October 29, 2005 8:31 PM
I caught this ES44AC sitting in the BNSF(ex-Santa Fe) Emporia, KS yard earlier today, and seems like it has seen better days. Anyone know where this little accident happened at? The conductor's side shows where it or something sideswiped the fuel tank, but it was still running. No leaks were found around it.





Take care,

Russell
All the Way!

Actually, they're just "love bites," from trying to mate with an SDMAC-70. Ouch!

The last I've heard of a wreck was the Operation Lifesaver excursion wreck in the latest issue of Trains magazine.
Anyways...
