The switch continues to be eyed with suspicion.
Refer to my post from yesterday.

Annotation is mine.
I am NOT at the scene. I am working off 3rd pictures & data. So, of course, I don’t claim to be an authority on this matter.
As two of the posts above show there is a growing body that suspect a switch. Yes, that could very well have been the case — per what I posted yesterday.
I am, however, bothered by the three carriages that are on their side PRIOR to the switch.
Yes, a derailment at the switch could have had a TORQUE effect down the train that TWISTED those three carriages on their side. Yes, there is physics there that could make sense.
But, I also noticed a distortion — i.e., a bulging — of the tracks ahead of where those three carriages are. I circled it on the ‘AP’ photo.
Is that unusual track expansion caused by global heating, i.e., exceptional heat?
There is a new camp that thinks that it WASN’T the switch, BUT the rails getting bent from the heat.
OK? I am trying to keep you updated — as I promised, yesterday.
