Following a link I found another derail caught on camera, not as spectacular as Steves but still, you can catch a train derailing but you still cant get beleivable video of Bigfoot 
Great video!! Can you imagine what would have happened if they were traveling faster. It really made me think of my son-in-law, he went to work for BNSF as a conductor about 3 months ago. He loves every minute of it.
Wow. It was almost a compound disaster when the car clipped the guy wire on the power pole. If the wires had come down it would have been a whole lot scarier for those rail fans.
I didn’t do it!

On the other hand, it’s a pretty amazing experience to stand a few feet away as a freight train passes at 80mph on a moonless night in the middle of the desert. Just this huge roaring black shadow surrounded by darkness and whipping wind, like a supernatural beast.

A passenger train in Asia somewhere.
Poor track maintenance, I’d say.

Boy, they’re lucky it didn’t derail going over that trestle.
