Look at that curve. No way it can be taken at 80mph.

Track went left. Lead locomotive went straight. Things might have been better if the train cars followed the loco, but some must have stayed on the tracks. Also having a rear loco didn’t help, because that thing caused the accordion.

Another instance of engineer texting when he should have been paying attention to his controls?

Curve?

The track had barely started to curve when the loco went straight!
