Anybody know if this locomotive was repaired or scapped?

As far as I know, it was repared. I'm sure I've seen it at least twice...along with all other AC4400's CSX owns.

That damage to a $2M locomotive is basically superficial.  A week or two in the shop and back out hauling freight.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
