EL derailment, Hoboken, NJ

            It's Black Friday, 1975 version, as we're in Hoboken, NJ watching Erie Lackawanna personnel rerail 3 cars. This slide stood out as the Mechanical Dept. has all hands on deck to assist, including 2 wreckers and a handful of carknockers, or maybe car pushers, in this case. 

The 2nd wreck train arrived with a diner in addition to the panel cars &other equipment. I worked one derailment on the MoPac where a dining car was brought out to the derailment site. That diner was salvation to us at 3am on a Friday morning in West Texas. I may have had my first coffee that night.
