Amtrak 133 and 166

Back in June, a Southwest Chief train hit a heavy truck and totally derailed, in Missouri. I wrote about it, HERE. The image I screen grabbed at the time, was the last train cam that it had passed by, before the crash.

The engines have been staying in the Missouri area for almost 2 months, because of the ongoing investigation.

You never know what is going to be discussed in the chat rooms and on Fort Madison's chat, they mentioned that the 2 engines were being moved somewhere.

They had been seen in La Plata, so my Husband found out what time that was and I got a screen grab of the lead engine of the train set.

Look at that nose! Quite a mess. In comparison, the second engine looks fine.

We think it is probably going to the repair shop, to see if they can be fixed. Otherwise, I would think they would be used for spare parts.

Good luck to them.
