| Bryan,
Accordiong to the ICC accident report the enginer and roadmaster were both killed.
The Report is available at:
Ken Martin
There were a few accidents with the shovelnose units and I believe this is discussed in BB #13. To expand on what Ken described with the PZ incident at Napier, MO, this is covered by Schultz in the E-5 Bulletin. (One correction, only the engineer was killed. The road foreman was seriously injured.) Schultz theorizes that there wasn't much of a chance of surviving a collision in the cab of the shovelnoses at anything greater than 20-25 mph. It was this wreck that directly altered the design of the E-5 as the preliminary designs retained the shovelnose as well. The fallout from this wreck was also the reason why the Q didn't acquire any Budd RDCs, which is also covered in the E-5 Bulletin.
