That is a great image.

Looks like the train was going too fast for the track and went off at the tangent of the curve.

The final cars ‘z-up’ on the track because they stay connected to the crashed cars up front, but are going slow enough to stay on the track - having been braked by the crash up front.

Why was the train too fast for the track? Was the track damaged? Was the engineer negligent - or perhaps too busy being shot at by local Amish?

When we become hobos, we’ll want to select our rides with care.

Over 100 mph. I’ve been on high speed trains, over all I felt secure. Though, if one were to crash, it does feel a bit like being in a tin can.
