    They found a 300kg metal bar on the track. So not a purpose build derailer, but something, which certainly does not just appear.

      Ah thanks. Ya it’s not like something like that would have been blown there by the wind, It would have taken a concentrated effort to move something that heavy involving either a tractor or at the very least several people.
