Tom Beckett	General	Amazing that the engine was rebuilt after such a disaster. Low water is a killer, not only of locomotives, but crews. Richmondville was and is a tough climb. Have to wonder if someone didn't make a serious error in judgement prior to starting up.	11/14/2019 4:07:32 AM

History recounts an unfortunate event involving this particular Challenger as a result of an explosion... as detailed on Page 380 & 381 of Jim Shaughnessy's "Delaware & Hudson" "... ... ... of 4-6-6-4 No. 1510 as it was starting to climb Richmondville Hill in July 1941. ... ... ..." The explosion was blamed on low water in the boiler and deaths of three men.. Surprisingly, #1510 was rebuilt and placed back in service by the end of 1941.
