В 1999 году один из жителей городка Хобарт что в США снимал проходящий мимо грузовой поезд, он почти закончил снимать когда что то пошло не так. Причиной аварии по всей видимости стали старые, гнилые шпалы. С рельс сошли 9 вагонов

On Saturday 9th January 1999, No. 36 goods travelling north from Hobart to Burnie derailed at Chigwell in Hobart's northern suburbs.

The event was captured on VHS by an enthusiast who has supplied this vision.
The derailment was apparently caused by a track buckle in a timber-sleepered section that was being replaced by steel sleepers.

Although the actual derailment isn't seen, it's graphically heard at (2:50) and (2:56) when bogies from a loaded wagon (blue containers) jump the track and leave a trail of track devastation for about a kilometre.

The loco. crew didn't realise until a witness contacted Train Control which in turn contacted them. By the time the train stopped at Austins Ferry, 9 wagons had come off the track. .
