Wooo - quite a mess! :(

Can anybody confirm the numbers of the F-units?

Is there an accident report available for this wreck? (I haven't checked my files yet, but I don't remember seeing it)

According to Hofsommer, p 175 & 176: QLA on 3/8/61

Both occupants of the truck died; none of the crew was injured. It's supposedly the most expensive wreck on the QAP at $291,500.

Yep, your as right as rain Karl, and it was at Roaring Springs and not Pease river too 1 was 34 days old when it happened. My Uncle Jerry Owens gave me these pictures 20 years ago I would guess. He worked for the Q in the roundhouse in Quanah. I wonder where he got the photos?
Thanks for the info and corrections. I thumbed thru the Hoffsomer book and must have skipped over this page. What a small world huh?

I checked my files - no accident report. Does anyone have a copy?
