This shows the extension of the temporary track right under the loco as it hangs in mid-air. The earth-moving equipment is seen waiting on one side to be brought into action when the retrieval of the second loco (the lead loco) will have to be done. I stood under this loco for a few minutes and I can tell you that it takes a lot of courage to do so. The two thick wires of the crane actually looked like thin threads when viewed from under the loco. It is not for the weak-hearted chaps to work under these conditions.
