Some train wrecks occur when drivers exceed the posted speed limit (19 derailments last year), but, more often, the cars go off the rails because the brakes weren't used correctly. An object that happens to be sitting on the track isn't likely to derail an oncoming train. A freight train can typically throw a 4,000-pound car out of its way without getting off trackâalthough in 2005 an SUV left on a commuter track caused a fatal derailment in California.
Follow Business Insider: REUTERS/TSBCanada Smoke rises from fires caused by the derailment of a CN Railway train carrying crude oil near the northern Ontario community of Gogama, Ontario, March 7, 2015. There have been several high-profile oil-by-rail accidents in the last couple of months.nd the crude coming from the shale basins, a big part of American production, is typically lighter, with more butane gas in it than other kinds of oil, which makes it more flammable. When a train derails, it creates a ton of heat.
