Saw two derailments here in So Texas along the line between Laredo and Corpus Christi. One was at a sharp curve before a crossing, someone had a hot hand on the throttle and 3 grain cars spilled over, damaging two others. Whoops.
One other was either worn trackage or a soft spot in the rail bed and the track buckled, causing a set of bogies to slip off right when they started to move it. No biggie, but it closed crossings for a few miles up and down the track.
@ 2:27...that flip was just a matter of time....look at how close that rail is to the embankment...any heavy rain can make that area of soil soft and the weight of the locos can make them flip to the side...just as it is shown in this video.
Good pics, Brian. Interesting choice of music: "The Ecstacy of Gold". Did you happen to be watching "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" while you were compiling the slide show?
@estesoyojajaja I don't know. I do not have any of those. You might be talking about the pictures from the Clinton, Indiana wreck back in '82 in the video.
Excellent. Good job here. You can tell they were rolling at track speed on most of these as they look like model trains that were flung about. That one at Sullivan with the engine turned back around the way it was coming from is really a sight.
Wow, Brian... You sure have seen a lot of derailments over the years, haven't you? How many have occurred behind your farm that you remember? Awesome compilation of photos set to a very interesting musical score. Fav'd and Shared.
Have you watched the good, the bad, the ugly?

@SFLRailFan No derails at the farm but north a bit and south a piece there have been accidents. Two big derails in years past but no photos. :( Thx
