Look what some railfans in Louisiana caught on video recently. A train wreck in action. The train derails and topples over near the middle of the video.

Darn plastic frogs on Atlas turnouts!
Or yet another slightly out of gauge Peco turnout? Actually it looked like the switchman was having some problems with the throw – like it wanted to bounce back up.

That’s almost as bad as this one:
Wow… how much did that one cost?
The second on has been around for awhile. It was a tornado that derailed the train.
Nothing, that’s what insurance is for [;)]
It is my understanding that the big railroads in the U.S are self insured. Yeah, I have seen the tornado one. That is something. Notice how the tank car rolled toward the locomotive!?
