How oftenndo derailments happen? I'm genuinely curiousbif they're a weekly thing or a yearly thing for a given company.

However 99% of them happen in yards or industry tracks where speeds are low so they're nothing like your pic, just a matter of re-railing them and sending them to the rip track to be inspected and repaired.

They're investigating since it happened less than a week ago. Plus there's dangerous cargo on-board that's leaking

And here we have the reason hidden in a few words. Privately owned, built for cargo tracks means maintenance and upgrades happens only to the minimally necessary amount.
In Europe where tracks are straight up publicly owned or the company is publicly owned regularly scheduled track maintenance and continuously welded rail means it basically doesn't happen.

Mainline derailments are very rare. Most derailments are at slow speeds, in yards, and due to switching mistakes. Nearly every bit of mainline is CWR and even yard tracks are starting to be welded.

That's been the standard for a long time. A 60 car train should take roughly 1 hour to walk for inspection. You're just buying lazy gold bricking union bullshit if you actually think it's unsafe. Have you ever actually walk a train before?
