In the aftermath of the P&W derailment in South Windham last week, contractors had emptied out and rerailed the cars that came off the tracks. The three that ended up on their sides/tops, were placed on the spur track near Route 203 in South Windham. On my way up to UConn, I took a swing by and got a few shots.
Not much else to say here – the three cars are back on the rails, and I’m not sure what will happen to them now. Also, there was a crew working down at the derailment site, and the 2215 was sitting east of the Route 203 crossing with three ballast hoppers. So with that said, here’s the handful of shots from South Windham.

Tom;
Any serious “hazmat” issues here?
Joe-
Nope, nothing at all. No leakage from any of the tanks. As far as I know the offloading of the ethanol onto trucks went fine also.

That’s the problem with double shelf couplers, one goes over and tugs the others with it.
I guess with those couplers you end up with more cars to pick up, but less chance of a big fire in the case of this commodity.
