Does anybody know what the unit numbers were on the Sunset when it crashed into the bayou? I know the first was 819, the second was either 312 or 212...The third i have no clue on. Can anybody help?

??????? - was this a recent "crash into the bayou?" Or are you talking about the 1993 accident?

Both Coaches #34068 and #34083 were scrapped. Becoming the third and fourth Superliners to die Posts: 579 | From: San Bernardino Subdivison | Registered: Dec 2001

Does anyone know if coach 34040 was scrapped or returned to service? It was the one "dangling" from the bridge. It is pretty "famous" as it was seen in a bad way around the world in news media reports.
I have never seen it in service before but it may be out there. Thanks.

It was returned to service after the Sunset wreck. But on February 8, 1995, the Pioneer wrecked. Badly damaging coach 34040. I do not know the cause of the wreck or any other cars involved but I do know that coach 34040 still sits a Beach Grove as a result of the Pioneer wreck. Last I have seen is that it is listed as probable scrap. It has been waiting at Beach Grove longer than any other Superliner.

Thanks for the info! That's very interesting. I hope it is saved. It would be neat to ride in 34040 since it has such a history.

I think it would be more of a curse actually. it may have survived two crashes, but you know the phrase- "third time's a charm"
