De-rails are not reliable in my expirience. I've seen several cars go through at both high and low speed. As a result, I have come to distrust de-rails. Don't get me wrong, they have their uses, but you shouldn't rely on just one (Or even two) devices to prevent an ancident or stop one. It is better to over-protect than under-protect. Always. Safety first, no matter the cost of time or money. It isn't worth somebody getting hurt over. Fortuanately, nobody was in this case. And both parties involved learned from the expirience, hopefully enough to prevent a similar incident later on. Too bad only the kid learned a lesson (I hope he learned one, anyways), and not the whole city, or state, or country! I hope everyone relises with this accident that: A) This stuff is not a joke. Railroads can become very dangerous really quick if you don't know what you're doing. And you can't stop a train easily. Even if it's only one car. B) You can't stop stupid, so put safety measures in effect to protect against it. If in doubt, over-protect, rather than under-protect.   Happy (SAFE) railroading,
