On this day a truck carrying potatoes ran away headed east at the junction of 550 and 160 just west of the Durango Yards. It ran through the intersection, up the hill and at an awaiting 473 being readied for the days run. It struck the locomotive at the Firemans side of the cab. The force knocked it off the track 11 feet. Just missing the blowdown valve. Luckily no one was seroiuosly injured.

Out of the three remaining 28s, I wonder which has the worst luck?
