This is an Alco RS11 built in 1959 for the Green Bay Western, it was sold to the KBS in 1993 and fell off a trestle into a stream in 1999 I believe. A tree went right through the radiator when she went down. :-(

I have talked to the engineer running this engine during this wreck. He says he derailed due to ice buildup in the flangway at a highway xing. He was fired for excessive speed. I see him weekly and he is still bitter.
