I forgot that what started this discussion was Earl's answer that the 483's tender frame was bent from the accident. That may well be true.
I just looked at a picture taken by Neal Miller of 485 in Salida in 1954 and it does show an awful lot of damage to the right side of the cab, so maybe the tender body was torn up, too. I don't have a picture of the tender.
I do have a picture of the 483's wreck, and it appears that a bent frame would have been a certainty as a result.
We're lucky 483 survived at all.
Mike
