After the four axles of the loco were lowered on to the newly laid set of tracks, the crane was pushed further by the WDM-2 until the crane was able to couple to the WDG-2. Now, the brute force of the WDM-2 was used to forcibly drag the crippled WDG-2 on to the tracks and beyond to the loop line. The WDM-2 was powered up to Notch-5 in gradual steps without any movement at all. The re-railment of the WDG-2 needed notch 6 power in the WDM-2. With this action, the recovery of one WDG-2 was complete.
