A few days prior to this picture, the MNYRO derailed a few cars between Plain and Crescent. It was a minor derailment (no cars fell over), but the two cars involved were set out at Plain. For reasons unknown to me, the cars were not spotted on the house track. Instead, they were put on the siding just west of the grade crossing and a portable derail was put on the rail. The cars would remain there for a week, preventing Plain from being used for meets.

A pair of cars that were involved in a derailment a few days earlier sit on the siding (not the house track) at Plain on the last day of April. A descent winter storm blew through the area five weeks after winter ended.
