605 and 4116 (both short hood forward) derailed just short of MP 1 eastbound at Greenwich on Tuesday March 8th while pulling the flanger. Leading truck of the 605 skewed badly towards the (north) hillside due to the accumulated ice. After many attempts to jack/block/crib during the next two days finally the decision was made to bring in RJ Corman. They arrived on Sunday morning and two hours later both locos and the flanger were tucked away successfully at the engine house back in Greenwich.
Earlier on late Friday afternoon "borrowed" Pan Am 352 powered five hot cars north from Eagle Bridge to the mill and returned that same evening to EB several hours later.
