We are in Valley Cottage, along CSX's former Conrail River Line Subdivision, where we see CSX Train M410, a manifest mixed freight from Rice Yard in Waycross, Georgia to Selkirk Yard in Selkirk, NY, as it comes to a halt along the single track just north of CP26, so that a wheel on a freight car can be swapped out. As the train was going over Orangeburg Defect Detector at milepost QR19.5, the detector alarmed at a hot axle. The culprit was the north axle of covered hopper car ACFX 96998. The axle had a hot journal bearing, which caused the detector to go off. The train made its way to the next controlled siding at CP22, where it sat on the main track for a little while, in order to let other trains go by in the siding. Once the line was clear, the train advanced to just north of the end of the siding at CP26 so that it could get worked on. In the different scenes, we see the evolution of the train pulling up, the block truck with the spare wheel going to work to lift up the freight car, remove the hot wheel, and replace it with a new one, before getting rolled back under the car, which was then lowered into place. After a brake test, the train got underway again. We see the train as it comes uphill across Lake Road in Congers, about two miles north of where the train got repaired. M410 consists of GEVO ES44AC 717, CM44AH 7036, AC44CW 13, AC44CW 216, and GEVO ET44AH 3205, with a 137-car mixed freight. Enjoy the view of all of the action as the wheel gets replaced.
