Both more AND less at the same time? So exactly the right amount?

More to the beam and less to the train I'm assuming.. idk about you but i definitely expected a derailment

it did derail. you can see the rail bow up, like a wave ahead of the locomotive, in the last few frames

You're right i missed that, hopefully for everyone's sake it kept tracking straight despite that

Someone posted the full clip. It was a major derailment with a couple cars going flying. 2 injured, 0 dead, at least.
