    121 would be making good time, arriving at Greenville shortly after 7:30. Leading would be heritage unit 7011. We would chase to Moosehead, and miss them at Tarratine. Going to Jackman, we could tell that 121 had never arrived in the yard. Moving back towards Tarratine, we would get word of 121 derailing at milepost 56. Luckily, the crew survived. The train had derailed due to a washout. 7011 quickly caught fire under the lumber loads.

    Wow, can’t believe you caught it right beforehand! That’s definitely a catch for the record books.

    I'm grateful the crew made it out alive of that wreck. I get a lot of people are upset about 7011 becoming a total loss but at least several other heritage units like her still exist. You can't replace a person like you would a loco.

    An "Incredible Catch" by Maine Central Railfan!!!! This Brownsville, Maine CP crew was incredibly lucky indeed! In fact, the durable Progress Rail / EMD cab on the SD70ACU may be exactly what saved them on that horrible day. It is unfortunate we lost the first two of those locomotives on that day (7011 and 7005). I'm happy I got to see them both several times during their short life. 🧐

    While I am saddened in losing 7011. CP can choose another unit to paint up. The crew getting out alive just means in my book the locomotive in the end did it's job. Rest easy big girl you will be missed.

      Yes, some railfans were able to help. I wasn’t very familiar with the area, and I had my scanner off. I didn’t even realize the train had derailed until about an hour later. By the time I was near the derailment site, the crew had already been rescued.
