...slide images shows Yard-Xtra #68, with cab #825? or #835?
Train crew is waiting for the " all-clear " from the track repair gang.
FM # 68 will drift down past the derailment, tie into un-damaged (AJ-12) cars
(End of consist )and pull them back into Rook Yard for inspection/delay re-assignment.

...there is at least, four(4) "hot trains" waiting to get by this derailment.
3-unit NKP east-bound delayed at Gladden, two(2) P&WV trains sitting in
Rook Yard. and a P&WV/WM train at C'ville.
