"Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railways chair Ed Burkhardt said the engineer found a Trackmobile, a vehicle that can pull several cars at a time, and went to the rear of the train.
He hooked up several cars, all the lightweight vehicle for hauling rail cars can pull, and moved them away from the wreckage, Burkhardt said.
He returned once more, pulling a total of nine from the disaster site, where explosions over the course of several hours killed a confirmed 13 people, with almost 50 still missing."
I on-line "chatted" with some Star "reporter" who was apparently in town. I asked him questions about the location of the locomotives and he only gave evasive answers because apparently he was not really there to look around, he was there to interview victims and regurgitate the voicings of the authorities.
Thank you!
From that same article (which I had previously read and missed/forgoten) I had found:
The engines and nine other cars remained behind when the rest of the train broke away sometime later. They stopped a quarter of a mile away from their original parking spot in Nantes.
