This brand new American-built EMD GT46C-ACe weighed more than 210 tons and cost around $2,000,000!

Something happened in Owendo, Gabon, in Central West Africa, while this new locomotive was being unloaded from the ship. Using only two slings, the rear sling appears to have failed.

Maybe a poor knot?

Falling what appears to be more than 20 feet at least, the locomotive sustained major damage and you can see the frame is all twisted after the crash.

Maybe sell it for scrap?
