Many thanks! The accompanying description also clears up a lot of the vagueness in the news reports
as to what happened. A detailed description of the run of events leading up to derailment, as well
as of the dynamics which led to the positions of the cars and locomotives.

I should have looked there. I wasn't expecting so much detail to be available two days after. In
aviation, it takes 30 days (per ICAO agreement).
