Bret,

I think Martin is right about it being the 17. Looks to be quite early in her career, I doubst she is more than a couple years old. Judging by how she is laying, probably rolled a rail on a curve, or just broke it apart. I wish we could see the undercarriage and roadbed. I've heard these big engines did a fair amount of damage in the early years, though most if the upgrades seem to have been taken care of by the time the 19 and 20 arrived.

Thanks, Taylor

Also, the photo is from Ron, but I have no idea who took it.
