IAIS 701
On October 9, 2024, IAIS 701 East struck a liquid asphalt semi truck at the 110th Ave crossing between Walcott and Davenport, IA. The collision ripped the tank trailer in half and sent liquid asphalt everywhere. Thankfully the crew and truck driver were uninjured.
For now, IAIS 701 and a 3-pack well car, sit on the RIP track at Silvis pending cleanup and repairs. 701 is not only covered in asphalt, but also has damage to the pilot and nose. 701 is one of four GP38-2's with PTC and one of about half-a-dozen that have been fitted with air conditioning.
