I hate to see this.  I'll bet to them that is like us laying the 2001, or the 805, or the 707 on its side.  The fact it landed on an adjacent asphalt road probably hurt the carbody even worse.  I hope they can get it fixed without too much $$$ or difficulty.  Really a nice, and neat locomotive.  Embarrassed
