Yeah looks like from the pictures that the rails were on a grade of gravel. I’m no civil engineer and have no idea how different rail track foundations are but if there was a flooding or a current of water going over that area it could of easily washed away or loosened up the ground underneath the tracks making their support of a heavy freight train non-existent and therefore buckling the tracks when it rode over it. Just a guess of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
