Remarks & Notes 
Traveling south on the Lineville Subdivision, CSX Q647-05 goes into emergency. The conductor walks the train and finds that it has broken a knuckle. The separation accrued between the 96th and 97th cars. After an inspection, the engineer radios that he will put a new knuckle on the ballast for the conductor to pick up. After the conductor has a firm grip to the car and radios that he's clear, the engineer pulls forward slowly bringing him to the new knuckle which is about a mile from the separation. Here you can see him holding on to the covered hopper as he makes his way back to fix the broken knuckle. Look above the railcar knuckle and "notice" the wrench, hose, and new knuckle on its step.
