Chicago L car - taking the wrong track

[schweitzerdude]

I know this has happened before but the link has a good overhead pic of an L car on two tracks at the same time.

hehe I thought that only happened on my O-scale layout when I was a kid.

Or as I was thinking... The AI in Trainz. The AI driver saw a red signal and decided to go another way rather then waiting for the green. He probably backed up, after he messed up the rest of the schedule, to find the track mark he missed.

Ah, whoops. Almost looks like a toy train.

Hmm, interesting that it happened near a Granville.

But is CTA right in that it is not a derailment, or could it be considered both? (ie: one set of wheels left the track they were meant to be on, but at the same time, went on to another track)

PS: Nuh, surely this is a model, or I must be seeing things? And by the way I thought it was the "EL", not "L".

It is indeed just the "L".
