If it isn't the same one there was a BOP contractor who tipped their 171 over the back of a cat loader in a similar way to your photo Scott S

That's one I have never seen or heard about.Compared to to the 7220 that poor old Northwest took a beating. Pretty hard to pull it over, over the end of the tracks, must be good story there.
