Yeah - lucky no one was hurt. I still remember hearing (from 2 miles away) a derailment on the B&O. Best description I can muster is that first you hear the brakes Squeel... then you hear a very deep metal hitting metal (Think like a steel plate falling)
Then you hear the Metel hitting metal sound.. over and over.... The last derailment we had here was 20+ cars... lasted about 45 seconds... Then about 30 seconds later... All the fire sirens started.. Scarey - really scarey..... it was about 35 years ago...
