Also discussed in the “Train Make-up 101” thread.
Can’t be a case of string lining, has to be those darn NMRA couplers again.
Considering that there is a full time Horseshoe Curve web cam, I am surprised they don’t have video of the derailment as it happened.
it wasn’t aimed in the right direction at the time.
There is video from just after it happened, as the mod turned the camera. I think the scanner feed is included in that video, which I believe may be available on YouTube.
…And what are NMRA couplers…? Quentin
Good video I just watched. Believe it must have been done via a drone. The ROW doesn’t appear from our vantage to be damaged very bad.

HO model railroad couplers
HO scale couplers - often called hook/horn.
They were the standard before Kadee came out with their more realistic version.
