Not sure if this is the same but NR78 hit a truck full of sand at a
level crossing at Keith, SA and was damaged. The windscreen came in
and the cab interior was damaged and covered with sand. One driver got
a fat lip and the other driver either escaped unharmed or broke a leg
(depending on who tells the story). The front end pannelling and pilot
are damaged along with some handrails. This loco arrived in Melbourne
hauled on YN2 on 11/11 at 1800 approx. It was hauled to Spottswood the
next day 12/11.
