[@GamingJamesGames]

I'm going to guess that all the grain cars (?) were empty and as soon as the train started heavily braking, the heavier cars behind it caused a sort of 'crushing motion', pushing the empty cars off the tracks. "Luckily no one was hurt..." - Thomas and Friends lol

[@KTRFP]

You nailed it. A big chunk of these railcars are empty heading back to Little Rock, AR. Too much weight on the back of the train pushing the lighter cars up front. Just bad train building.

[@armandoperez7967]

Ideally, the empty cars should be at the back of the train. This way the momentum of the heavy loaded cars won’t push the lighter empty cars off the track.

Unfortunately they will probably nail the engineer for improper train handling. Trains now days are made up in blocks so the empty/load placement means nothing anymore.

Take a look at the grade profile from East to West on the KCT, 18th St to Santa Fe Jct. Down hill all the way, with sharp curves the bottom. The rear end is always looking to see where the head end is going. Sometimes it takes a short cut trying to find it.

[@huskerhank6231]

There were a couple of derailments on the old Rio Grande narrow gauge where a car derailed and disappeared down into the brush. Loss of air, train reconnected and continued on only to find out later that a car was disappeared. The freight cars that the narrow gauge used where very light & made of wood so it wasn't unusual for them to derail. Or so the legend goes....

[@pokeytoaster7029]

Also “happened” on the Milwaukee on St. Paul pass on ID/MT border. Train looses air, conductor goes back reconnects air lines, train arrives at destination missing cars. I wonder where else it happened?

[@SirLANsalot]

in this case it was a matter of empty cars ahead of heavy ones during breaking, the heavier cars, on a grade, pushed down on the empty ones and shoved them right off of the track. The derailment last year was a string line, where the empty cars (center-beam flatcar) were pulled off the track by the heavier cars behind them, not from braking. Train building is still relevant today, even if the C1 railroads don't think so and just slap trains together regardless of how its put together. Train Length does matter if your train is built properly. Unit trains are one thing, everything is the same, but Manifest trains cannot be treated the same.

[@jeffeastmond8481]

The one earlier in the year was exactly like this one. On a string-line, the derailed cars are pulled to the inside of the curve. Both these derailments were to the outside of the curve, indicating pushing from the rear.

The Santa Fe curse

[@Brickertown]

Judging by the video, this is what I'm guessing causes this to happen: When a train brakes, it takes time for the next successive car in the train to begin braking. So you can think of a "wave of braking" to pass down the train from the engine toward the end; when the "wave" gets to a car, it starts braking. But then, separately, there's the matter of the slack in the couplings. When a car brakes, and the car behind it isn't braking quite as hard (because of the aforementioned "wave" effect", the slack in the coupling diminishes, until the slack is gone and the second car can't move any further forward. This then happens to the NEXT car, and the next, and with each car the slack diminishes faster because each of those cars isn't braking as hard as the one in front of it. IMPORTANTLY, this means that all of the cars in the front part of the train with no slack are all going the same speed, and they are all going slower than the cars in the part of the train that still has slack. At some point, the speed at which the slack diminishes becomes faster than the "wave of braking" passing down the train, and you get these events where the train basically goes BOOM as all the slack is taken out of the train at once. You can hear this happen at 1:13. BUT THEN, if you're on a curve, and you've got some lightweight cars in the middle of the train, and the train BOOMS, then this can happen: the slack is all gone, but the cars haven't even begun braking yet. Worse: the cars in the back are all going FASTER than the cars in the front, and there's nowhere for them to go. So the weight of the train behind the curve (which can still be a lot of weight even if all the cars are empty!) just pushes the cars on the curve off of the track. Theoretically this could even happen on a straight section if the track is having a really bad day. Now the following could very well exist - my knowledge of train braking mechanisms is slightly outdated - but wouldn't it make more sense for trains to begin braking from the REAR of the train and work its way FORWARD? You could theoretically accomplish this by adding one additional pipe that carries the air pressure down the train to the end, and then works its way back in the opposite direction through the existing braking network. Sort of like how dedicated brake vans used to work on old fashioned trains. Apologies if anything I've said is just factually incorrect - I'm a computer engineer not a railroad engineer lol.

[@hifijohn]

IM guessing the pusher loco in the back kept pushing while the front locos slowed down.

[@Brickertown]

@@hifijohn that's possible, but it's my understanding that dpus are radio controlled, and that sort of communication is pretty instantaneous, so any change in power would likely happen both at the lead unit and the dpu at the same time. now it's entirely possible that the throttle was still up WHILE the brake was also on at the same time, which could lead to a situation where the dpu is still pushing while the brakes are on.

[@takingthescenicroute1610]

This area has a bend in the track and trains slowing down, the perfect formula for unbalanced slack and mass related issues because heavier (eg: loaded) cars take longer to decelerate and can push into a lighter (eg: empty) car ahead that decelerates faster. When this happens on a bend, Newton's 1st law of motion takes over.

[@Bassotronics]

Yup! Train consists are important. Heavy cars in front and lighter cars on rear. But they never take that into consideration.

[@Paul070]

Severe slack action!! Gotta love the train make up nowadays! 😆

[@thomasboese3793]

Attention please, clean up in aisle three. Looks to me like a lack of cooperation between the lead loco and the DPU. The front half to the right of the camera slowed and the rear half was shoved into the front pushing the cars to the outside of the curve. Some commenters here believe the track is to blame. I don't believe so. What caused the DPU to stop responding to the lead loco is what I want to know?

[@williamjackson5767]

Thanks

[@beeble2003]

Why do you think it was a DPU issue? The train has just come downhill and entered a sharp curve.

[@markfisher1392]

We don't know if there was a DPU on the rear of this train or not. I am absolutely no expert in train handling, so I welcome any input or correction from those with experience. However, I've read that air brakes don't act on the entire train evenly at the same instant. When you have light empty cars at the front and heavy cars (or simply many more cars) at the rear, the brakes don't apply at the same force throughout the train until the pressure is equalized. They start applying at the front of the train first and work their way back through the train. Drifting downhill around a curve is hard enough to begin with. A DPU would actually help, as it can make a brake pipe reduction at the rear that propagates forward while a reduction at the head end propagates towards the rear.

[@thomasboese3793]

@@beeble2003 I stated that it "LOOKS" like a DPU issue. Based on what I've learned working on a railroad, decades ago... Will not "KNOW" until the NTSB reports come in. The real question here is; what was the actual cause of the sound. It was not the "normal" run-in of slack of lots of thugs, but two short loud hits followed by the cars being pushed to the outside of the curve. "Something" was pushing... DPU or heavy cars? If I was a betting man, I'd have it on the DPU out of wack since I don't know the full makeup of the train, but do understand how touchy setting up a DPU set can be at times. To err is human, if you really want to mess things up get a computer involved.
