Didn't  8549 and 8550 hit head-on when trains 111/112 collided head-on on the 
end of  the Radford New River Bridge?

Charlie-
Can't find the federal report on the head-ender
at Radford, so I can't tell you the engine
numbers involved.  What I do remember is
that riding first out behind the engines was
a CORX tank.  You know, they're the tanks
that haul the concentrate from Coors Brewery
in Golden, CO  to the plant on the  Shenandoah
Division.  Gee, I wonder why I remember
that ?   
 
My NS Condensed List and Description of
Locomotives is a bit out of date -  01/01/88,
but it shows GE as the owner of 8550-8551.
Could be NS became the owner after a
specified period.
