I was totally unaware that this locomotive had such a tragic past. This is the story of the Big Boy #4005's derailment that occurred in April, 1953. It's very well written and definitely worth a read:

You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.
Re: Wreck of the 4005
Excellent article on a barely known tragedy. I wonder what the fates of the two found responsible were...
