Railfan Pictures of the Day - 03/16/2006
| CSX Bethlehem Branch Lansdale PA March 3 2006 |
| More on the derailment in Lansdale. Part One can be found here, Part Two here. |
|
|
| Now that the rail was loose, the next job was to get the wheels back on track. |
 |
| The sidewinder was positioned at the end of the car. |
 |
| The sidewinder walked the derailed truck of the tank car past the rail break. |
 |
| Once the truck was in position, the next operation, lifting the car onto the rails, required a repositioning of the sidewinder. Driving one of these looks like fun, but requires a lot of skill. |
