Toptrain sent me some pics of camel backs that had broken side rods or bearings to show the dangers of the center cab location. Luckily this was a very rare problem.
First off is an D&H loco that had the entire engineers side of the cab torn open when the running gear gave out at speed.
Here is the CNJ camel that I was talking about earlier. She was on lone to the Reading at the time of the accident.
Although the CNJ Atlantic fared better, I would have to say that it is unlikely that the engineer survived in either case.
