Interesting, a rare opportunity indeed. Not having followed the excursion beyond when it paused in our little burg I was not aware something had happened
|
What caused the damage to the wheel? Just curious.
|
From what I've heard, the diesel providing support to the 844 was put in power through the loco-link that the 844 has. The engineer (not Ed Dickens) panicked & threw it in emergency. He didn't bail off the independent (release the locomotive brakes) & the 844 slide on stopped wheels for about 50ft.

Great photo to document to the archives.
