1:11 This looks like a model train wreck, not a real one! lol
-
and this is why they need to restore their wrecking crane....

@darkyoda actualy, steamers spread their wight more evenly and are lighter on the track
-
@LoganisTrainBoy1 Thanks Boy1.
-
@robertgift I saw the rail had flipped on its side after I replied. I am guessing the heavier engine broke the rail but the locomotive still cleared because everything was in line. Then when the gap between the engine and the tender went over the broken section the broken piece shifted. Then when the tender hit it derailed.

@LoganisTrainBoy1 Thanks, 1. I don't understand why the heavier engine did not derail. Or is its weight morevenly distributed whereas the tender's weight is on just four wheels causing a higher weight on wheel contact?
-
@robertgift Tenders are very hard to get unbalanced due to their center of gravity (most locomotive builders thought of that) And I dought the speed of the train was great enough to cause an imbalance. Chances are the weight of the train went over a bad piece of rail and the tender derailed (Thank gosh not the engine).

Fortunatley it doesn't look that bad.

Probably a weight issue. That steamer is heavier than most Diesels would be.
