This video shows a real train tackling bendy tracks. However, the clip's creator sped up its speed for the first 52 seconds. In reality, the train carefully advanced on the tracks about seven times slower than what appears in the video.

PREX 1603 leading PREX 3054 blasts down the former Wabash Railroad's 5th District!This is only the third time I've gotten a pair on one of their trains so I was pleased to see them. The line was most recently the Maumee and Western Railroad before being purchased by Pioneer RailCorp. Maintenance was deferred for decades on this stretch of track. Pioneer has done a great job rehabbing the worst parts but some pockets like this still exist.

posted to YouTube by Taipale, named"Train derailment on the ND&W Railroad." It showed a boxcar derailing on similarly"bendy" tracks. The first portion of the video had been sped up as well: Taipale said in the description that the engine uncoupled from the derailed car and continued on without it. In sum, the video showed a real train tackling bendy tracks. However, the beginning of the video had been sped up by the video creator.
