      I was feeling unsure of the video. I was asking myself is this real, or a simulator? Then, I realized I wasn’t connected to my wi-fi. Then after connection, details and smoothness improved. Lol what are the odds that I’ve only found VRF yesterday. And as a child, plus one trip as adult, I’ve taken the southwest chief from Los Angeles to Ft. Madison to see family in Keokuk, Is. so, I browsed and found FRF. I should go to Vegas and bet the house. Or did I use up my luck finding this. 😂

      @@michaelrasmussen426 The train stopped so quickly because the friction of the train against the bridge or whatever is far greater than braking. It probably would've stopped at about that point regardless of braking, assuming the brakes were not applied until the derailment occurred. If there were no brakes, the cars behind might've pushed it a bit further- but once a train is off its tracks it stops real quick!

      I just made the same comment about the crew potentially “messing their drawers” when the locos started to tip towards the end, ESPECIALLY with this happening on a bridge, when I e-mailed the link to a railfan cousin of mine. Cleaning this mess up is going to be really tough with it happening on a bridge, hopefully VRF will be covering that the same way they did the Horseshoe Curve derailments NS had last year. Thankfully looks like no injuries at least.

I think it's a very good example of why people should be extra careful around railroad tracks - look how far after the original problem that the train traveled with the cars and engines ripping up tracks and ties (and maybe had brakes activated). Accidents happen - and the good news is that this one didn't jump off of the bridge!

You cab hear it, even though you can’t see it for a few seconds after the initial derailment.
