0:30 i love how the guy sees the train derailing, but doesn't react just keeps on texting. He probably wrote something like "lmao my train just crashed"

I'm a train and I approve this video! Choo choo!

I'll never forget the time a train derailed down the street from my friend's auto shop while we were having beers after work. Within an hour, a fleet of rigs show up with all this heavy equipment, block off the whole street and just go to town. They cut out all the fences and gates leading up to the track without hesitation to get the machines through. All the trucks were company branded as so and so "derailment services". On one trailer, they had an axle with a wheel that 1/3 of it was cracked off. The guys said it was their 3rd derailment call that day.

When I was a kid we had a coal train derail and virtually cut out town in half for a long time. On a side note, everyone who had a wood burning / coal stove didn’t have to buy coal for years. My grandfather included.

some background regarding 0:00
This happened in Spain, Santiago de Compostella The train driver entered this bend way too fast (180km/h [~112mph], speedlimit 80km/h[~50mph]). According to himself on a phone call he got distracted by a phone call which he received from the train manager on his cell phone... He failed to slow down the train when leaving the high speed railway and entering the regular railway. 80 people died.
There has been controversy because the driver (according to the same phone call mentioned before) has apparently informed safety officers in charge that the bend in which he crashed wasn't safe and it was only a matter of time until an accident happens. There's also been discussion about how the end of the high speed line was marked and monitored by the implemented safety technologies like ECTS and ASFA. As far as I remember the train which crashed was not equipped with ECTS and ASFA does not support monitoring of a line speed change but only introduces a safety stop should the speed of the train be over 220km/h which has never been the case. Following the allegations made by the train driver towards the safety officers not having listened to his concerns, there's been further discussion, whether anything was undertaken to mitigate the safety concerns towards this bend.
(also, this footage is mirrored)

For some reason the tracks were like when there's a switch point.
But it doesn't connect to anywhere, so when the train hit it, it caused the derailment.

0:22 Why are these people so _chill_ while there are literal explosions happening behind there ??!

3:00 tornadoes sound like trains.
3:33 derailing train sounds like a tornado!

Just another reminder kids that you dont ever, ever, ever want to start a train movement without checking which way your switches and derails are lined.

The steam train was so obvious from the way the points were set, but a good example of how guide rails would stop a train falling off a bridge.

3:26 -Up there on the list of things you never want to see: a breakaway tanker car sparking and sliding right towards you.

1:10 You can clearly see that the switch derail has been thrown back for the mainline, and it worked exactly as it was intended to do! I dare say someone got fired over that.

[s.s.]

I seriously can’t comprehend how many of these derailments are cleaned up

[BamFourThousand]

Why do I get this recommended while on a train....

At 2:54 This derailment was caused by a EF2 tornado on January 7, 2008 in Boone County Illinois. 🙂

The coal wagon was doing a great job of reprofiling the ballast at 1:38 lol

1:10 This train went over a derailer set to active. Derailers are used to prevent accidental entry of a train.

[SuperPuggle]

As a locomotive technician, can confirm derailing is super easy

The people on the platform of the second clip didn't react! That one guy on his phone was like "<shrugs> whatever"!
The clip at the 3:00 I've seen before. I'm pretty sure it was a tornado that actually briefly lifted the train off of the tracks.
And I'm suprised the other line wasn't closed in the last one. The train might be clear of spilled debris & cargo as THIS train passed through quite slowly, but that could change in an instant. A gust of wind could easily deposit any of that mess onto the other track, or idiot looters seeing if there's anything they can flog or use in the wreckage might also displace debris into the track, deliberately or absent mindedly.
