Thanks for your response. 
I was wondering how fast this incident was handled. Was not sure about timing & issues with the crews involved.  Where can I find the story?
Thank you

Was there a local crew qualified for this or did N&W have to shuttle a qualified crew in from Williamson or Bluefield? Was there a larger locomotive in Williamson that took the train to Bluefield or Roanoke? Also were passengers left on board or bus shuttled to Roanoke? Time lapse?

Had things been different and the crews run out of time according to the hours of service law, new crews would have been needed to move the train.
