I think that is misdirection.

After the Nantes siding there is only single track into town until the yard switches. How does the end of the train get ahead of the front of the train? The TSB pic of the (blue) locomotive make it look upright and still on the track.

The scribes still don't have their story straight.

I see that. It is hard to believe that the locomotives went through before that destruction, but there was good track to haul them back through that mess towards the original parking location.

There is double track (siding) from the edge of Nantes towards Lac-Megantic for ~1.4 miles.
