Blue SD35

[NW Mailing List]

-

 N&W units were generally so dirty during the 70's it wasn't always easy to determine their actual color.
Some I.C.C. accident reports on file at the D.O.T. library are missing , but there
are two which involved SD35s.  

7/17/68 - Engs 1550-382-820-1531 collided with a gas truck at Abingdon
8/19/70 - Extra 1529 East - head-end collision at Pembroke, VA.

Don't know if these SD35s survived, but you might want to check and see
if the color changed after wreck damage repairs.

As info. Eng 1531 was also in a pusher consist in a head=end collision
at Finney.

Not an SD35, but an Alco RS-3 painted blue and assigned to yard
service at Sandusky.  The "N&W" had faded from the herald and some
one had drawn a "happy face" on it.  The inspection train went to 
Sandusky that year and when R. F. Dunlap saw it, he busted out
laughing.  No, his face didn't shatter.                  Harry Bundy
