Sorry. I did that. Everyone was saying it didn't happen.

The Penn Central unit had its hand rails damged last year when it hit a car in Illinois.

You can't have anything nice anymore. Looks like it has been in the parking lot at WalMart.

They're locomotives, not cars. They are huge machines that work in very unforgiving environments. Things are going to get damaged and these heritage units aren't immune to it just because they have a special coat of paint. At least it wasn't completely trashed.

mdurdan, where was your picture taken, Allentown? According to the computer as of 4:00 PM today it's still in Allentown. On a side note, the DL&W unit is in Conway.

I was actually in correct on this, I originally posted that it had derailed, it was only clipped at a switch. Apparently a few slug units ran in to it

Originally you said it derailed in Altoona on 1/10/13, but according to the computer the last time it was in Altoona was 1/9/13 at 14:56 on train 10G. Did this side swipe actually happen in Allentown?

Here's the train radio at the time of the second derailment ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... 4RXUSScmJ8

Mike, Here are a few pictures that show the damage to the lead locomotive that was on the train in your above youtube audio.
