18 Article about the average number of train derailments per year. I just thought it would be a good data point to have in mind as we’re paying attention to happenings.

The problem is they did not explain what a derailment is. A derailment is when a railcar wheel drops off a track. 98% plus of all derailments are caused by misaligned switches. In addition, most occur under 2 or 3 mph.
That makes sense. Thanks for adding that!
