After a load shift ended the America's Cup Express 'boat train' - a special rail move from Davisville, RI to San Francisco, CA via Seaview Transportation, P&W, NECR, CN and Union Pacific of the America's Cup boats and support equipment inside containers aboard the 112-car train - the NECR portion came to an unexpected halt due to a shifted load. The train had been running with the RailAmerica-painted TP&W GP40-2 4053 leading, however it was cut off when the crew tried to depart light engine. A nearby farmer whose crossing was blocked by the 8,300 foot train, showed up and 'advised' the crew that all of his vehicles were 'trapped' inside the farm property by the train, the crew returned to the two remaining units - the NECR units pictured - and pulled the train clear for him to move his vehicles to the other side and then back back into the siding, awaiting the arrival of a crane to fix the shifted load.
