Investigation underway in North Pole Adventure train derailment

[@yt650]

It’s the maintenance of the track that is the problem, not the train itself. Murphy’s Law: “What can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible moment”.

[@OneHeartDove]

I'm thankful it wasn't NKP-765. I hope anyone who was either on the train or along the tracks was not injured.

[@mishasumi6827]

Is not the train, it's the track

[@chrisstromberg6527]

Well you can’t have a derailment without a train, so what’s your point!?

[@kenrickman6697]

@@chrisstromberg6527 Thank you, Mr. Obvious. The point being made is that the -cause- of the derailment was the track, not the rolling stock.

[@ralfie8801]

I don’t have any idea why this silly reporter said the trains are inspected for at least 90 days, they’re inspected EVERY 90 days.

[@mostlyinterested1016]

Oh, just lack of knowledge, as usual.

[@kenrickman6697]

Reporters never get the most basic details of railroading right. I’ve literally heard one reporting live about a grade crossing accident who said “And to top it off, the engineer did not even *attempt* to swerve!”

[@kristinabegail]

I heard another daft response: Something about a train going AROUND a GUARD RAIL

[@ralfie8801]

@@kenrickman6697 I think it’s everything, not just railroading. We had a news anchor in my area years ago that called any and every kind of tractor or other equipment a bulldozer, and any kind of navy ship was a “Battleship”.

[@kenrickman6697]

@ To be fair, that does happen sometimes. A good derailment can leave some cars around the guard rails, some around the ballast, some around the trees..

Were the riders charged extra for the unscheduled excitement?

I pretty sure they would report if there were any injuries, I’m sure some people were shocked though.

[@mikeingeorgia1]

It looks like the derailed car was back in the middle of the consist. Could’ve been a broken rail. I’ve seen that happen many times. It could’ve even been broken before the train arrived and not noticeable by the engine crew. I came up on one on one occasion and because of the way it broke, I couldn’t tell until I was passing over it. I stopped quickly but we were sitting on top of the break. Maintenance-of-way came out and watched it as I continued on over it with the rest of the train at less than walking speed. It happened to be possible in my instance, but sometimes the breaks aren’t always as amicable.

[@CubCadetMan71]

I believe car 4 derailed first followed by 3, 2, and 1. I was in car 10. Couldn’t tell anything happened til the train stopped.

[@waldotrueb6081]

What do you think that cost to bring in those side-winders to set the train back on the rails??

[@ffjsb]

Weather is NOT going to be a factor here. Snow doesn't affect trains like cars and trucks unless you get a few feet.

[@maestromecanico597]

The only way weather could have been a factor is if it were so cold that rail contraction caused a split. Exceedingly unlikely.

[@randallteague641]

I don't have much experience with snow but ice can cause derailment.

[@davidwhiting1761]

You get enough ice built up around the rail head you could derail some cars. Happened once back in the steam era when a plow extra running at night stopped short of a hay bale supposedly in the middle of the track only to realize that they were in fact standing in a farmer's field - ice had caused the train to leave the rails some distance back but the train had remained upright and no one noticed anything was wrong until they encountered the hay bale. True stuff can be stranger than fiction.

[@ffjsb]

@@randallteague641 There would have to be a LOT of ice, and bitter cold to make it harder, and neither were present.

[@ffjsb]

@@davidwhiting1761 I have to call BS on that story, NO WAY is a steam locomotive going to leave the tracks and the crew not notice. And they wouldn't stop for a hay bale. Your story makes zero sense. I think you've watched Polar Express one too many times...

you looking at 1/4 inch movement on the track derail, object on the track that is not crushed or destroyed and gets under the wheel derail, derailing is normal expected and happens. its how you handle it that matters. i worry more about anyone who says they never had a train derail on them.
