How an EMD demonstrator F3(?) looks after a head-on with a steam locomotive!. Believe it was on the CGW or CNW.
This site has very nice images from Iowa/Minnesota and Wisconsin.

F Units were designed to crack behind the cab so as to provide some cushion effect for the crew in such an event. I'm sure these guys went back to La Grange for some "fine tuning" after their tussle with the steamer.
The wrecked A unit was scrapped. The other A and a B eventually went to the TP&W ( who later rebuilt the B unit into an A unit.)
