Glad you enjoyed it!

This was a very interesting film. I was surprised at the amount of track it took to cause a derailment.

[@airailimages]

Yes -- I figured a short break in the rails would be enough to cause mayhem, but maybe not. I wonder speed has something to do with it too.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING FILM THE MORE RAIL YOU REMOVE THE BETTER THE DERAILMENT

[@michaelhughes1504]

It seems like removing some spikes and changing the gauge would be a lot easier if your intent was to derail a train..

Sherman & his famous bow ties never encountered this prob.
