Thank you for reading the story of BGKRR 605 if you made it this far.

Repaired again he worked until 1935 when she blew up again claiming another crew. Rebuild again he worked up and down the TRKR until 1955 all the while fear and despised by the crews.

The 605 however never looked the same for the roundhouse crew didn't repaint the white back on it leaving it in all black aside from it's numbers. He was involved in a runaway later that fall that killed another crew.

The 605 was rebuild with a new boiler and the 26 was rebuild with new smokebox and both were put back in service.

The wreck was worsened by the 605's boiler exploding. The front of 26 was mangled and the coaches where damaged and freight cars where derailed or smashed. 605's crew and 26's engineer where killed out right while 26's fireman was injured, thankfully no passengers were killed.

At 11:28 AM, 605 and his crew rolled out onto the mainline but would only make it half a mile before disaster struck. They met the local passenger train being hauled by TRKR 26 at Fiddler's Cut, both trains had a combined speed of 50 MPH (or 80.4672 KPH).

At 11:01 AM the 605 with it's freight rolled through the west switch of Crow Gorge Siding and were only there with 10 minutes when TRKR 25 passed with the charter trip. This is were 605's crew made their deadly mistake of not reading their orders well,as they began to ready 605 to keep rolling east.
