Mike,
With all due respect, I doubt seriously that anyone who reads this page would enjoy viewing the results of anyone's misfortune, and I'm sure that was not what was meant.
As I recall, both locomotives and all crew members survived this incident. One of the tenders might have been lost.
The D&RGW used the cost expenses to return the engines to service and the accident itself as a means to further their arguement for abandonment.
