This is an incredible video to watch, and it was very lucky that no one was seriously injured. The derailment occurred when a wind gust estimated at 70 mph blew the roof off one car, parts of which fell on to the track and caused derailments that in conjunction with the high wind speed caused the train and Baldwin 2-8-2 16 to roll over.
