Today’s episode of Railfan Video of the Day is a bit different from the usual fare. Instead of a video of railfan action from around the nation, we have a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on when things go wrong.

The background story is on August 21, 2016, ex-Nickel Plate Road #765, temporarily renumbered #767, derailed on “home” rails at the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society shops. The video shows the meticulous and dirty work that was required to get the big Berkshire on the rails again. It is very fortunate that someone in the organization had the presence of mind to record this for posterity. It is extremely educational.

Enjoy!

Keep #765 running! Donate to the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society.

To see #765 (767) in action, watch this former RVOTD.
