I have read in a couple of different books that the N&W "Jawn Henry" TE-1
actually telescoped a caboose during pusher duty because of its massive
tractive effort. I have searched the web but haven't found any more details
about this--is this a true story, and if so, was anybody injured? I'd be
interested in knowing the details if anybody knows the story. Thanks,

Mike Weeks
