I wonder what this loco hit? The buffers, cattle-guard and coupling seems to be intact! Also, the headlights and markers seem to have suffered little or no damage!

Does anyone have any inputs?

It appears that the loco was hit by a horizontal beam or something, like a vertical clearance issue, Interesting, indeed?

Was it hit by another loco? Had this been a diesel, GOC would have defenitely put it back to it's original orm. GOC specialises in repair of such heavily damaged locos

So how is it that the buffers and the coupler are all intact?

From the picture, only the cabin (and the associated controls/electronics) seems damaged which should be easy to repair and replace. Why is it being condemned? May be we could have had first single cab WAP4!

The Crew usualy jump off or run to the rear cab when they have time enought before a crash of this sort
