Their C&O engine 6641 is at Cass shops with impact damage on one end. Anyone know the details?

Could be anything from a heavy tree to a wayward automobile....locomotives hit stuff all the time. It's doesn't all bounce off though. Sometimes it leaves a mark or two.

Another source reports it was due to an impact with standing cars near the Tygart Junction interchange. He claimed the speed was between 15 & 20 MPH. Hard enough to bend the end platform downward.
