Derailment caught on the virtual railfan camera in Kansas City. Looked for a moment like it was going to miss the bridge support, but then not so much:

Re: Derailment in Kansas City
So what do we call this? A stringline?

Re: Derailment in Kansas City
I'd say it's more of a bow-tie, or some other phrase I just made up. Stringline usually happens on a curve with the cars coming off on the inside of the curve, forming a line. This is more of a pressing to the outside of the curve.

That dude in the bobcat plowing the parking lot was like, "Nope, not my problem, I'm outta here!"

Well this is pretty cool. Includes some slow motion replays of the derailment plus the entire clean up process. And there is a quick sighting of the dude in the bobcat later pushing a spreader to apply salt to the parking lot.
