This reminds me of the Sheboygan Train Tragedy of 1984 when this train derailed going 8mph in a 3 mph curve. The driver apparently fell asleep, and leaned to one side, which along with the speed of the train helped tip it over, the driver, Willie Green, had a skinned hand and a young boy had a skinned knee, matching his other one he got in soccer practice.

Obviously a tragedy on a smaller scale but the same principle.... whatever that is

Too funny! Didn’t hear much about that tragedy, also haven’t heard from Willie Green in quite a while, maybe he’s too busy laying down rail for the high speed train in CA.
