Not sure, but this looks like "Dieckman's Curve", just below Needeleton siding, near MP 483.7. In July 1951, DRGW Engineer Dieckman and 473 in the "Bumble Bee" paint derailed at this location. The train was headed downgrade with a train of ore concentrates and hit a sun kink. After the engine was shopped, it came back in basic black.

See 473
