Can anyone tell me if they crew of 61057 survived after the crash that caused it to be scrapped.
Looking at pictures of it awaiting a decision it would seem unlikely

Thanks jwe found the info where you suggested.
Fireman was killed, as was one of the guards, the driver was seriously injured, as was another guard
Looking at the pic I have it is a wonder anyone survived

No problem, Boris. Is it possible to post the picture? I don't think I've ever seen it.
I did vaguely recall that a B1 was written off fairly early when I thought about it but couldn't put my finger on which accident it was. For some reason the RI chaps didn't specify locomotive type or number in any of the reports I read. I wonder why that was?
