    "You must be joking, Wolfe! At my speed I can't even get a decent internet connection, some decent digs, and she's still running at twice the speed as me. 'They used to use the phrase 'Break a leg' I think did!"

    Every time I looked at the video of the train derailment, I see the same thing. Just before the train comes to the curve, one of the train cars jumps off the track as if by itself. It really had nothing to do with the train engine as I saw it. Check out the video in slow motion and you will see it too. I copied a screen shot of the video and sure enough, just before the train entered the curve, one of the train cars jumped the rail. I can't tell if there was an explosion or not but it really was not the train engine that caused the derailment. Is there another email address I could send the screen shot too for verification?
