ICE 6427
Title:  ICE 6427
Description:  The conductor waits to reboard this ICE detour after I drove him up from the rear of the train. The train got hit by the detector a few miles back, 7 cars from the rear of a 120 car train makes for a long walk. So, I was in position for a photo (see CP 9611 - #614) The train stopped in Bangor, so I drove down to offer any assistance. The conductor found sticking brakes on the 7th from the rear car, he cut out the car's air and I gave him a ride to the head end. I didn't get the photo I wanted, but to help out a crew, it was worth it!
