Re: WTF Is a Partial Derailment?

It's possible for one wheel of an axle set to derail if the rail rolls or breaks but officially if one wheel leaves the rail, it is called a derailment. I agree with you that the media and even some MTA Public Relations folks do not properly understand the term but no operating person would ever use the term and officially there is no partial derailment.
