That is why you need more than two lifting points just for that! All I can say is wow!!! I wonder how the damage is to the dock structure with all that weight coming down?

Just sell it to Metro North. Even in it's current condition it will likely run better than the BL20's on a good day. B)

"Umm, he did it." That had to be a very long meeting in the office trying to explain that one.

Would hate to the one on the end of that phone line when the yard master gets told.

...and you are correct. Until that locomotive is on the ground and it is being hoisted by ship's gear, its on the shipping company. Purchaser will refuse payment to G.E. and G.E. will sue the shipper.

You might imagine....but in fact, most locomotives only have two lifting points and they're actually marked on the frame, or on the body in the area of the frame where it should be lifted.
