Actually its kind of like understeer in a car. There's a lot of mass when it comes to train movement, and if its going too fast to negotiate a turn or a zig zag the wheels might climb off the rail entirely, the force of the train might also cause the rail gauge to widens enough for a derailment, or you can have a rail-rollover which causes wheels to fall between rails. In the early days it wasn't uncommon for rails to break. <br />Al Bergstrazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108771211584899497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-34056881471396035112018-07-25T15:02:43.808-07:002018-07-25T15:02:43.808-07:00Nowadays the TSA (Transportation Security Administ...Nowadays the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) would impound the SOB for two years while they determine the cause and then it would probably never see a set of tracks again.
