Brent Jackson General "She was destroyed in a wreck at Dalehurst, AB on 2/8/86." I'd say that's somewhat lowballing it. This is one of the locos from the Hinton crash. This was the one with reset safety control that CN decided not to have the crew ride in because it wasn't as comfortable. 23 people died as a result. At least the lessons were learned. And sorry about the double post. 11/5/2009 2:23:29 AM
Mike Woodruff General Brent, thanks for the additional info. For those who are interested, here is a link to an account of the Hinton crash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinton_train_collision 11/5/2009 8:22:38 AM
