The P40's and P42's are garbage. Especially with crossing collisions, they are too lite and are always derailing when they hit anything big. Think about how common this scene is lately. Now how many F40's and P30's and SDP40's have you ever seen like this? Not many. They need to get rid of these locomotives!
You're welcome. Wow! What an experience. I'm thankful that there were no fatalities. The dumptruck driver is very lucky and should be super thankful that he is alive.
Same here! We barely felt a thing except for a few jerking motions. I KNEW we had hit something because on a previous connection from Albany NY to NYC, my train hit a truck and almost sent it into the Hudson. By any chance did you get any pics of the dump truck?
Ouch lol. That looked like a P40 in the Ph-IV Scheme. The P40s are crap compared to their sisters (P42DC). The P40 actually has a very flimsy frame. The P42DC has a reinforced bolt-on nose plate. Look closley at the nose shots in my videos and you will see what I mean.
Lol yea. There are only a few dents and scratches. That poor P42DCs just sittin by her lonesome lol. She has been sitting their for about a week lol. I go and pay my respects an visit lol.

Sucks. . . about the P42 No. 66. My son just saw it. He was in inside the cab and he was sad to see it looking like this. .

Nope. Unfortunately, they had the scene cleared way before I got there.
