I was in Nahant Yard, Davenport when this was going on. I had a worker tell me about it but there wasn't any access to film it unless I had a drone with me
Looks like between two bodies of water the earthen ground strip that supported the railway was so saturated with water (rainfall & lakes) the rail(s) bed simply gave way

The drone footage shows the damage & the large area impacted by the derailment.
Were the crew ok ..?
Yes. there was no serious injuries. The engineer was taken to the hospital
Just another day on a Class 1 RR .
Another fine mess to clean up.........just minor owwwies on the crew?
Did the loco go half way into the forest when it derailed? Unpleasant experience to see trees approching I suppose.
@Stefan_Boerjesson It looks like it. It's not something I would want to see as an engineer.
