"A derailment likely includes missing a switch track in the yard and rolling off-track for a few feet. NBD."
I agree. We need to know what constitutes a "derailing."

Most are derailments on customer sidings, where the tracks are not in the best of shape, occurring at low speed and the car stays upright.

Getting off the rails.
It could be very minor and boring, as mentioned. Or it can be higher speed and result in quite a crash and catastrophe.
Most are probably dull roll-offs from a stub or siding.
