    When did this happen? I'm pretty sure I saw 7109 a few days ago at the Alliance roundhouse.

    OK. I was trying to figure out if for some reason it had gone back to the plant. I was on the ALTOKC pool around that time and saw various other units in the series (7107-7112) parked on the wye. I never heard about this or noticed any damage to it when I saw it. Of course, we don't handle anything inside the plant, just drop off loads inside the derails and pick up the empties and completed engines.
