Have you determined the reason for the derailment yet?
The pictures posted over on georgetownmuckrakers make it look like the locomotive went off the outside of the curve and that having a guardrail on that curve was a very fortunate thing....again, that's judging by the pictures. I don't want to think about what might have happened had that guardrail not been there.
