I was running trains this afternoon and doing some work on a bridge on the yard lead. Trains had been running laps on the 6 1/2 scale miles of track around the 2000 square foot basement layout for about an hour when I suddenly noticed the sound of wheels running on the ties. All the turnouts were still set correctly. The single trailing axle of one truck on a covered hopper had come off the track with no indication of why. There were 17 assorted cars trailing behind the hopper and all the wheels were still on the rails. No debris on the track for the previous scale mile and the truck was in good working order.
I'm really puzzled by this and may have trouble sleeping tonight.
