| The CN leased the KSRY this engine for moving a big cut of storage cars. We are about to depart Kosciusko and head to Aberdeen JCT to give the engine and these cars back. Later that trip, we hit a tree and slightly bent one of the grab irons. We didn't realize the grab irons were bent but the CN sure did. One of the head guys over CN's engines told us we would never get another one of their engines. So, we had to wait until that guy went on vacation before we were able to get another one.
