The picture shows what appear to be articulated spine (near track)and well cars (far track) that are hanging in midair, loaded with trailers and containers, somehow still supported by the unbroken track and/or by the articulation couplings to the adjacent cars. My question is, how BNSF crews cleared the trains out of the way? Did they (or would they) 1.) Bring in a crane and lift the containers, trailers, and cars off the track, or 2.) Crib under or otherwise support the track, and pull the cars off?
