Does anyone know the speed limit here, the condition of the tracks, etc?
This seems to be a strange collision as there is very little external damage to the locomotive, yet it and the first two cars completely derailed. The force needed to turn a locomotive over and jackknife a car should have caused more front-end damage to the locomotive.
As for as scrapping or repairing the equipment, I think the p-42 and horizon will go to beech grove for storage and the amfleet to bear for storage. I think Amtrak has plenty of p-40/p-42s that can be more cheaply restored to operation condition than this one. Depending on the fleet strategy plan this loco may never see service again. I think new diesels will be purchased before Amtrak gets short enough to do any major wreck repairs. BTW I have heard GE is waiting on the RFP for diesels, they plan to offer P-44s with the same shell and a 4400 hp prime mover identical to the GEVO freight locomotives. As for the Amfleets when the Midwest bi-levels go into service there should be several free Amfleets.
