Derailment is nothing remarkable. I do not see any evidence to assign cause though.

Yard Derailment

A set of UP yard switchers derailed today. The strange thing was that when they derailed they were on a crossover from the drill track to one of the mainlines. They took out the crossover, closing the drill track and one of the mainlines. The locomotives stayed upright. I saw no cars coupled to them.
