Wasn't the derailment at Devil's Gate?

I think so. The Fox-31 article says:

Quote

Viewer Erin Doty said she was on the train for the 3:15 p.m. trip.

"The train started going backwards, felt oddly bumpy. All of a sudden, the train started tipping back and forth and within seconds the train tipped on one side," she said.

The Loop's ticketing page says that 3:15 PM is when "Santa's North Pole Adventure" departs Devil's Gate and the passenger's description ("the train started going backwards") is consistent with departures from Devil's Gate backing down under the bridge.
