ICE derails in Dortmund

[Noel]

An ICE derailed in Dortmund last week. Lucky it happened at low speed. Bizarrely it was the rear of the train that derailed.

Not really unusual. A lot of derailments are towards the rear of the train, if the cause is track related. Might be the passing of the front of the train that finally breaks the part
