Did anyone see the video of this train wreck?
Some truck essentially crossed in front of the train and stopped with it’s load right across the tracks.
It was a giant piece of metal like a bridge truss.
Was that what caused the derailment?
It looks deliberate!
That’s a different one.
Gross negligence by the RR’s employees in the locomotive’s cab caused the wreck. A surveillance camera located about 20 miles upstream from the wreck caught a picture of the train with huge flames emerging from the failed wheel bearing that eventually self-destructed, causing the derailment. The car with the failed bearing was about 1,400 feet back from the locomotive, making the flames easy to see on that clear, dark night if somebody in the cab had simply looked. At the 47 mph, the train’s speed when it passed the surveilance camera, the crew had about 25.5 minutes to stop the train, if any of them had been looking.
