Comments on: IC 1012 holds clear of the identified helicopter landing area at Robinson as several employees who are part of the Derailment Response have just arrived having departed the designated staging area in Sioux Lookout 15-20 minutes earlier. It will be a full day for the Pilots flying employees and contractors to and from the site of the 29 car derailment at the east siding switch Robinson which happened the previous day. By 2100h the derailed cars will have been cleared to the side, track structure reinstated, signal system made functional and trains will be moving through the site.

This is very cool. I did something very similar in 2017 but not for the same remote reasons
