Re-railing a De-reailed SD 40-2, Bethlehem, PA

On Sept 14, 2011 Jimbo2317 Productions was on the scene at PB&NE's River Yard in Bethlehem, PA to film a rare event...the re-railment of a de-railed locomotive!

39Z/256 was assembling its train earlier in the morning, when the third unit, a CEFX SD 40-2, pinched the switch on tracks 4 & 5, resulting in a minor derailment...and some torn up rails! (Interestingly NONE of the cars the engines were shoving de-railed on the switch...just the locomotive...)

Once I arrived on the scene of the accident a crane was there and getting ready to re-rail the engine. So we'll see the engine being out back on the rails...and it didn't take too long either...
