Trains can derail because they are going to fast around a corner, or it could hit some sort of obstacle, which would cause it to derail. A train is not set up like a steel roller coaster where there are wheels on the top, the side and the bottom. On a train there are only wheel on the top with a lip on the inside edge which holds them on. Mmechanical failures such as a hot box (hot journal) that goes undetected long enough, broken wheels or problems with track gauge, broken rail, and washouts among many other problems can lead to a derailment Anytime there is an emergency application of the brakes there is a risk of derailment. Gapped, run through, or misaligned switches can cause derailments.
