Western Railroad Discussion > UP 1995 damageDate: 11/30/06 14:53 UP 1995 damage Author: chicubs1983 UP 1995 was involved in a little switching incident at Proviso. You can see the damage from the photo I took from my cell phone. It's currently sitting outside waiting its turn inside the diesel shop.

TCS - perhapsageness Date: 11/30/06 15:12 Re: UP 1995 damage Author: chicubs1983 The handrails are actually pushed inwards. The photo doesnt show it very well. Also the upper part of the stairwell got it pretty good too. The paint is all scuffed up and things need a good heat and beat to get it back into place.
Eric Date: 11/30/06 15:18 Re: UP 1995 damage Author: TopcoatSmith Ok, looked like the handrails were leaning against the hood, couldn't tell if they were still attached at the deck.
TCS - notageness Date: 11/30/06 15:56 Re: UP 1995 damage Author: funnelfan Since both handrails on one side are torn off near the steps, clearly a case of sideswipe that only managed to snag the handrails and not the pilot face.

Date: 11/30/06 18:37 Re: UP 1995 damage Author: cpn Don't these units have a warning sticker to call someone if there is to be any painting done on them? I think I remember seeing a picture from one of the rollouts....

UP 1982 is modeling this one for us today.
