@pennsyr1 Sheesh, I should have known that! I have the video showing the salvage!

@Shaysteamjamb Also, after all the rebuild work was finished, 751 was purportedly the first unit to wear the later version of the R/W/B scheme with the two-color logo.

@Shaysteamjamb 751 was on the point of a northbound train that hit a rockslide at milepost 63.5, on November 4,1985. It tumbled down an embankment, with its two trailing units (761 & 705) on top of it. Despite the significant damage, the railway opted to reconstruct 751, though it was determined once the rebuild process was underway that scrapping the unit and buying a new one would've been more economical. The rebuild process took roughly 1 1/2 years.

@pennsyr1 My friends and I have been trying to figure out the story behind the #751. So far we are drawing a blank. What is the story?
-
@Shaysteamjamb In addition, SD40-2 #751, on the point of the second train, is Canadian-built, and has an interesting story to tell.
