Oh ok. Never mind. I wasnt trying to be confrontational. Thanks for the info.

Wheres that another one bits the dust image again? I do not think the 601 will be making it out of this one.

601. But the locomotive isn't the main concern right now, the people are.

Agreed Greg.

Really? Frame and structure looks to have held up to me, should be salvageable.

How can you tell from looking at a picture? I'm just curious....

Easy gents, the administrators are no doubt watching this forum very closely in light of the wreck. Now would not be the time to get caught in an argument here.

643 was at the engine house in Chicago on Tuesday 5/12.

mod note

Can we take it easy on 601 and whether or not it's going to be scrapped or rebuilt? We've had a tragic accident and it's kind of like asking if a car accident victim's cool corvette is going to be rebuilt. Thanks guys.

Headed north on Train 851 today for Chicago.

Looks sharp. Paint shop's scored its second winner in the Vets series.

God help us all #642 has been released from Beech Grove. Let the foampocalypse begin.

Here is a link that I found:

It looks nice, very similar to the #42. Once again, a very nice tribute made by Amtrak. I will have fun chasing this one down this summer.
