Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burlington derailment
while derailments are common, this one triggered a wider discussion.  Prior to this derailment I ''thought'' they happened every fiveyears or so, given that this is my hazy idea of when the last one made the news.  It is the wider discussion this derailment triggered that brought out that there are lots of derailments, but most at low speed, in the railyard, with limited injuries and damage.  So this derailment is notable for that wider discussion it triggered.  To the contributor who asserted that their were 10 brakemen killed every day in 1880, well then, if there are sufficient  to back up that assertion, and establish the wiki-notability for one or more of those derailments, someone could start an article or articles about them.  The existence of more common derailments in the past is irrelevant when considering the future of this article
