East Penn Railroad: A W&W Power Lease

In mid-June, 2011, East Penn Railroad experienced a derailment while heading North on the W&N Branch. Since the derailed car was on the end of the train, they couldn't get their own power on that end. This meant finding power from another source. Since CSX road power is too heavy for the branch, they called on W&W to lease one of their engines to help rerail the car. SW900 #915 was sent due to her high tractive effort and horsepower compared to the aging SW-1s. We will see 915 head for Landenberg Junction, wait for clearance before heading through Wilsmere Yard and up the W&N. Then we see them trying to get the car back on the tracks up at Granogue on DuPont property. Part 2 consists of a cabride on day 2, starting with more attempts and final succeeding in getting the car back on. Then we ride the cab back down the W&N, where video stops at Elsmere Junction.
