Western Railroad Discussion > UP 7381 minor damage

        UP 7381 was the lead unit on an eastbound stack Monday November 28th and I caught up to it at Optima, Oklahoma where the train was tied down in the siding. UP 7381 was moving along on the main at +/- 20 mph and they headed in at the ADM facility 3 miles east of the siding.
        I have no idea what type vehicle they hit or where but the front handrails are nearly gone and a few scrapes along the firemans side. This is on the dark side but it was all I could get without getting out of the vehicle and crossing the tracks.

I hope they dont scrap it.

    Not for a set of hand rails they wouldn't.
 

Looks like it has a little damage.  A set of Athearn handrails might fix it.  Ha, ha.
