Bruised and battered Union Pacific 6317

Would love to find out what happened to this guy.

Son of a biscuit...I must have searched a dozen different things trying to find something. Now I feel dumb.

But thanks for that.

The link, not the making me feel dumb part.

Apparently I didn't search for "UP 6317,accident".

Oh well, my son and I go up there every Saturday to see the engine. He loves it so it's lots of fun for both of us.

Surprised they haven't hauled it off to the shop yet. They'll probably do some cosmetics and lease it to NS. Neat find.

Hey, Traveler! dontcha know ya shouldn't let yer kid play on the r.r. tracks?!

I know, I know. Made an exception this one time.

All I did was plug "UP 6317" into Google and that's what I found.

It appears as though some repairs have already been made to the front of the locomotive. There are new ladders there for the crew to use in getting on and off, although the original steps would be better and safer.
