Why would some one WANT to intentionally derail a train?

@detroitsports77 yes

@Krause12689 or call the maintenance guys have them rerail it and then shove the car in the rip track before anyone above the yardmaster knows about it.

That's the problem with derailers. They work. :)

good video of a scotch block in action (the Americans call it a derail but this side of the Atlantic the word derail is solely a verb)
generally here we only use scotch blocks as temporary solutions or for sidings that are used once in a blue moon
Trap points (switch to nowhere) are the preferred way of derailing runaway wagons

@simulatorman You are really lucky to have video of that time. All I have from the 60s is a photo taken of a 400 Class narrow gauge Beyer Peacock Garrett in our local yard taking water with two of the local Kennedy brothers as Driver and Fireman.
I used to haunt the yard waiting for them as I knew if there was any shunting to be done I could always get a cab ride around the yard sitting on Don's Crib box out of the way.
OH man, camera change at the worst moment!

You guys who have no clue about railroading, this was taken out of a video for new hires to demonstrate how portable de-rails work. They didn't do it just for fun.
