I wonder if 2330 met its end at the bumper block at the south end of one of the relay tracks. There was at least one other wreck involving an AB Standard at that location. |

The BMT standards met their match, it seems. How many other times did they get into altercations with semi tractors, station buildings or I-beams and come away with noghint more than scrapes and bruises? |

The only wreck at Broad Street of any notoriety that I recall was when R-16 6494 hit the block during a relay and had to be scrapped. It was replaced in the roster with R-11 8010. |

I was never able to figure out what sort of “modifications” needed to be done because AFAIK operationally it was a standard state of the art SMEE like the R-10s. |

I wonder if anything was done to it. I do remember Train Dude mentioning it was a SMEE right from the start. |
