On Sep 17th, 1958, C&S freights 77 and 78 met head-on at Chugwater, Wy, completely destroying the depot, C&S SD9 #828 and FW&D F7's 750A & B. Only 5 days later, C&S freight 77 again caused more mayhem, hitting passenger train #30 at Broomfield, CO, and destroying CB&Q E7 #9936B and C&S F7-A 700D. |

Both F7s were rebuilt with F9 carbodies by EMD, and were returned in March 1959. 700-D is shown here in Denver, CO, in May 1968... |
