Daryl writes: "This is the wreck of 71. I was out
taking pictures that morning at Welland, in fact, of this train, but decided
to go home. Not too long after I got home, my wife's (now ex) boss, who
was on the Fonthill Fire Deptartment called and said I might want to get
my camera and head out to Weber Road. I got this photo... Fireman still
hosing down GP-7 71 about an hour after a collision with a loaded semi knocked
the locomotive into the ditch. Diesel fuel from locomotive and truck caught
fire. Both 71 and the truck destroyed. The crew survived, but the truck
driver did not. the date was February Feb 12, 1980." |
