Herschend Train derailments

This flew under the radar but the Dollywood Express derailed last week.

The Silver Dollar City train had a major derailment last year. According to the final report there were several issues.

I did see it, but it felt like a non-event. Ten years ago I would have posted it, but despite a desire to attract more traffic, so much stuff feels trivial.

Train derailments of this nature are not uncommon but normally don't pick up the attention of the media, though I guess when 600 people fit on your train someone is bound to post about it on social media. The car overturning at SDC was noteworthy, however, and never should have happened.
