Thats a great clip,
I have a buddy that works down there, he was telling me someone caught a derailment on film.
He told me that yard is in bad shape in places. He even picked a switch one time and sent a few cars on the ground
LOVE those EX Southern High hood GP 38-2s always sports a P5 or P3 unless NS replaced it

Have never seen the third one... thanks for posting!
Here's another scary one in case some of the newbies haven't seen it. You can see a crew member on board the other train jump off his engine just before the hit:
