Mason Soliday General 6134 as NS - Wrecked Knox, Indiana 09/1991, retired and scrapped on site 1/3/2022 5:55:20 AM
Mason Soliday General Well the same happened with NS 6207 and NS 4636 2/26/2022 8:35:17 AM
Mason Soliday General Wait, it already becomes NS 6134 (just retaining NW paint) if in 1985, because the merger began in 1982. It was completed on 12/31/1990. The merger was completed just one year before this tragic accident in 1991 that destroyed this locomotive and two other locomotives. I hope nobody perished in that accident. I am also curious if there were any other locomotives involved 2/5/2023 6:00:02 AM
