EMD GP30 #2907
Scrapyard Switcher
Roanoke, VA. July 23, 2005
Oops! This derailment resulted when the brakes were bailed off of the cycle Systems Shop Switcher on a downgrade.
The engine then rolled down the hill, over the scale, and crashed through the barrier holding the terrain back
from a street. #2907 is an ex-N&W, nee NKP GP30 built without dynamic brakes and with the bell mounted in the
nose. The unit was in original N&W Paint as recently as 2004.
