OH NO, MY SECOND FAVORITE UNIT IS RUINED!! :'(
The 104, the SD70M-2 that promoted RailAmerica was in the lead, while the SD40-2 was 701, a couple of users of the FECRailway group claimed this as their YUK.
I guess the weekend I went on vacation turned out to be a bad one for FEC RWY officials and Hazmat. When an area railfan called me at 8pm Saturday I was shocked to hear the news.
Cause is likely a hotbox or something overheating.
I am part of the FECRailway group and Dave Shelley said that Tim, the engineer of train 107 (derailed) was alright with MINOR bruises and his conductor was ok. They held on tight when the train derailed and bailed out thru the front door. Shelley is the famous "East Coast Hogger".
