7241 shown here with the remains of the cab from 7244 |
"The cab of the 7244 contacted the counterweight of the
pellet stacker and was
destroyed. The remainder of the locomotive was not damaged. Sitting out in
the deadline at the time was the 7241 with a perfectly good cab but it was bad ordered
mechanically. It's cab was cut off and was in the process of being united
with the 7244 when the mine was shut down and work was stopped on the project.
As I recall it was ready to go except for some work on the remote control system.
The number on the side of the cab was never changed to indicate that the
locomotive was essentially the 7244, at least mechanically." Doug Buell |
