We see rocket launches regularly on the Cocoa, Plant City, Folkston, Barstow, & Cajon Pass cams. Rarely do we see astronauts returning home. In the case of the Plant City Segment, SpaceX Crew 6 coming down to splash down outside of Jacksonville FL. Plant City was in the reentry path.

I agree the trains keep derailing there, and that they might be just putting the lighter ones in front of the heavier ones which could be causing the derailments. This Gondola car looks like it's been pushed off the tracks.

This actually might not be a problem with the tracks but the trains themselves. Not mechanically but in just the way they are put together. PSR is making trains longer therefore making then much heavier and you can see where this goes wrong. A train going around to tight of a curve with to much weight behind if is going to fall over. And the tracks here were built when the curve radius was only designed for trains around a mile or so. (before PSR)

Sounded like the rear axle finally popped out from the truck after it dropped down from the service road grade-crossing, and then pulled apart the air hose (triggering the brakes) as it freely rolled out from underneath the gondola and then under the front of the autorack car. Glad it didn't get to the next switch before stopping, but the should really check the frog of the first switch where it presumably derailed at since this isn't the first time.
