485 has a special place in my heart, possibly because it is the only fallen K-36. Some of the photos of the event and afterwords are "graphic!" We are lucky to have the remaining nine 36 class locos, but am I wrong to want the other? Its kind of like having 9 other brothers (or sisters) and missing the one thats gone. You still love the other 8, but wish the other was back...
