if you mean the one at Edison Rd. the car hit the train....ran into the lead truck of 3618 the leader. crossing signals were working.

3618 - 1
car - 0

The trucks aren't even the strong part of the locomotive and in spite of that the car still lost.

I never realized there was an issue with posting links to newspapers or magazines due to possible copyright issues. Is this something new?

The trucks aren't even the strong part of the locomotive....

Considering they carry the weight of the entire locomotive, transfer the extreme forces of traction, and dynamic braking, and transfer the vertical shock of joints, diamonds, etc., I would say they are probably right up there, with THE strongest part of the loco.........
