I photographed these two roll-over victims at the north end of Loyall (KY) yard in August 1963. Records indicate the two units (Alco RS-3s 250 and 246) were both retired and later scrapped (or possibly used as trade-in credit on new units) on September 24, 1963. I can't recall for certain, but I think they were derailed near Lynch, rolling over into the creek (the Poor Fork Branch of the Cumberland River). They would be pulled to Corbin, then routed via the Lebanon Branch to South Louisville Shops for disposition. I'm sure they were evaluated for possible rebuilding, but obviously the verdict was no.
