This was the second loaded freight train to approach where a train derailed a few weeks ago, but it never made it! Far before reaching that point a few loaded center-beams began to violently rock! This is called a "Harmonic Rock" and it CAN derail a train.. What happened after this crazy rocking might surprise you, but ELS 501 is still here in East Kingsford, MI.
"The term ‘harmonic rocking’ has a ring to it for those not in the railroad industry, but to those in the know, it’s a nightmare scenario that could end up in a derailment. When harmonic rocking begins, it’s hard to stop, particularly as a car or train is moving at a pretty decent speed when this trouble makes itself known. When a train is moving at speeds of approximately 14-22 mph, harmonic rocking that was not discernible before can now be dangerously obvious to the naked eye. And it can culminate in a car flipping out of the train, which is no small matter." - https://hwd3d.com/blog/heading-off-ha...
