NH RR GE 302 and #306? vandalism wreck on the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch at Ocean Ave, Brooklyn overpass

This was a case of vandalism. Kids threw a switch and watched the New Haven freight run into the roll-up door.
I have this thus far: Thus far: GE EL-C Electrics - Class EF-4 301-310 built 10/1956 known as "bricks". A photo of NH RR EF-4 electric locomotives # 306 & # 302 lead a manifest freight train c. mid 1960's (these seemed to be paired, perhaps!?)

Found a photo of NH 302 Photo Date: 3/14/1965 and later went as PC 4602, Class E-33, in 1969
Thus: Was #302 repaired OR the accident happened after this date of 3/14/1965!? (The mystery thus far)
The accident between Oct 1963 and 1969… Anyone with further details?
