The 5002 seems to be a chop nose SD locomotive. Nary a mark on the ties where the flanges rolled over them. Well clear of the mainline.

This is what happens when grain elevator guys run trains. Notice the air conditioner hanging out the conductors side window.

Well there is your trouble.  The air conditioner didn't have enough counter weight to it.  :)

I could have understood it better if the air conditioner had been on the other side....making it heaver on  that side.

My thinking was that the air conditioner was a counterweight for something unseen on the opposite side.  Lame, I know.......

Well, judging from the thread title, this doesn't look at all like a cow...
