Minor Derailment Ends Chase of the Ontario Midland
Starting out Thanksgiving week with beautiful weather, Ontario Midland's road crew heads into Williamson, NY along the former New York Central Hojack Line with a single tank car bound for Thatcher while being led by 417, an MLW RS18u transferred from the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. However, while working the customer, a tank car being picked up unexpectedly jumps the tracks, bringing the crew's day to a halt and my chase to an abrupt end!

In the woods, across from the tower I found the old trash dump.

And an interesting way of doing the interchange - drop the cars they brought with them in that yard you were filming from at the south end of Pre Emption St, then pick up the cars to take back from what looks like a siding in the satellite photos around the curve further up Pre Emption St. Always interesting to see how they handle things in short line setups with perhaps less than ideal track layouts.
