Wow. Physics was never my strong suit.. but that doesn’t look like a low speed derailment, does it?
HOW can it go 81 MPH around THAT curve and stay on the track??
Answer: NO WAY.
Looking at the railroad track corner to the right of the roadway, the only things able to take that at 81 would be open wheel race cars like F1’s or go-karts.

I’m certain that this is a telephoto shot so the perspective is bunched but I’m also certain that a train traveling at 80 MPH would not survive this curve. 18 MPH, it would likely be fine.
