Looks like at least one of those dimensionals that Ed K. featured in http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,4227492  has gone on the ground...

From the looks of it on the TV video, it does not look too bad.  Trust me, I have been around several of those types of derailments in yards at slow speeds and this looks so familiar.  We can all be glad that no one was injured and looking at the video, the car department & track workers should be able to get both the locomotive and car rerailed fairly easily, but I am sure the track workers will have to make repairs to that track.

The loads with tarps over them, look like heat exchangers for a power plant, seen a few in virginia that look like them without the tarps, but not a 100 percent sure

Worse than heat exchanger flat derailing is the CNJ RS3 hitting the dirt! 😬
