While I was working on the roof of a warehouse in Secaucus NJ, A light engine move came into the yard that was next to the parking lot. There was suddenly the sound of flanged wheels on wood ties. The rear truck of the 2nd NS unit had derailed. Luckily, I took my camera up there with me for just such a reason and snapped off a few pics. Sorry about the odd angle, I had to squeeze the lens through a gap between 2 AC units to get the shots.
First, the train crew checked over all the units, cut out the CR loco at the rear, and backed it clear of the others.
Next a set of tractors with side hoists on them were moved into position.
Finally the unit was lifted up and re-railed.
