Here's a video of a CSX train derailing as it is pulling into a yard in Metairie, Louisiana in Oct. 2010.

It's really hard to see. The real action starts around 3:35. Dupe. Go to here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1125590 |

Here's an article about the wreck:

Officials with the Canadian National Railway Co. are investigating the cause of a six-car train derailment that shut down two Old Jefferson street crossings Monday. The 91-car CSX Corp. train hauling grain was headed to a train yard just west of Clearview Parkway in Metairie when the cars, which were near the back of the train, derailed near Central Avenue at about 11:30 a.m., said Patrick Waldron, spokesman for Canadian National. |

Yeah, the picture in the article even shows that the derailment was in the front of the train. I guess you'd call that sloppy reporting or sloppy editing. |
