I wouldn't consider this to be " A minor derailment ", as described above. Any derailment involving a passenger train with passengers aboard is a big deal. The rear 3 cars not only derailed, two of them were leaning quite a bit. This will bring much unwanted attention to this slide - prone area from the Feds, as will the additional slides today that will further delay the resumption of passenger service ( Amtrak and Sounder commuter ) between Seattle and Everett, WA.
