UP 951 question

[ScaleCraft]

I am reasonably certain this is fairly recent, due to no nose grabs, done when the UP eliminated nose door.
Lack of mud on the running gear makes me think it didn't roll over, rather a side swipe or some such.
I find NOTHING on-line.

Or is that just poor bodywork/paint combined with lighting?

I mean, that cab door looks like someone took a mallet to the inside. Yet the side grabs at the door and windscreen down are not bent.

Dave, I blew up the image to 240%, and there are a lot of dents on that engine! I tend to agree with the side swipe theory.

Totally agree with You and Rich. Somewhere I have a photo of that loco at almost the exact viewing point and it looks nothing like that. And it is after the UP rebuilt it for modern service.
