The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn.

Burn moth... Wait a minute...

On second thought, a little water might just help...


A little mishap at the Bender today, while 143 808 was broken up. Who knew recycling could hurt this much, considering that this engine was built in 1988, only 21 years old! What a waste! I just don't understand how they can send such young engines to the scrapyard, especially with the low scrap prices at the moment. Also on death row is 143 003, the first class 143 engine that was mass produced (001 and 002 were prototypes). They scrap what is of historic value, they scrap what is still young, next day they might accidentally send brand new engines here, at least that's how most railfans feel about this.

If you're interested in other pics of how she was broken up, and a shot of a Bügelfalte 110 stopping in Opladen, check out my thread on DSO: [link]

Ist dass die hauseigene Feuerwehr bzw. Feuerlöscheinrichtung im Einsatz? Denen passiert so was in der Art wohl öfter mal...

Scheinbar ja, ich hab sowas jedenfalls zum ersten mal gesehen. Schon irgendwie komisch eigentlich, erst munter am schneiden, und dann dieser "Hmm... vielleicht geh ich doch lieber da weg, und den Schlauch vom Schneidbrenner ziehe ich am besten auch mal aus dem Gefahrenbereich... So, *lösch*, und weiter gehts!" Moment.

Wow, talk about coincidences... today, on the 8h30 511 Intercity between Lisbon and Guarda, the locomotive (CP 2605, if you want me to be accurate) started to burn and had to be carried by COMSA's 335.001 to Guarda. Don't really have that amount of details, how damaged the locomotive is, how the fire was put out...

Will somebody teach me how to take better-than decent photographs?

You think thats too young for the scrap yard you should see what goes on in the states.

The SD90MAC's were built in 1995 and scrapped late last year and this year.

I bet a lot of railfans will wish it was the Benders that was burning, not the locomotive.

At least they wouldn't be able to tear it apart if it were burning...

That really is a weird coincidence. Makes me remember some engines that ended up here because of a fire that rendered them unrepairable.

Huh? Why did they do that? Did they have some contruction faults, or were some laws introduced that restricted their use etc.?

I think most of them are correctly shifting their blame on the DB, the Bender is just one of the few scrap dealers that do the dirty and hazardous work, another large one also being nearby in Cologne. I just read through the comments on my thread, and as usual, some just can't believe what they're seeing... Especially considering that all of these "older" engines were formely comissioned by state owned railroad companies, the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the west and the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the east. Basically, everything was paid for with taxpayer money, and that money is now being burned, literally that is in this case...
