I just got home and looking at it also. It looks to me that the tender and locomotive body of 463 are at a weird angle. I would hazard a guess that it is derailed, now whether the locomotive or tender not sure. One of the front end loaders is to the east side of the tender.
10-16-17 The 463 seems to be having an issue, maybe on the ground.jpg

Look closely at the tender of the 463, isn't the RGS logo mostly gone?

Once the 463 got forward the house crew was throwing a lot of metallic things into the bucket of the loader. Once all is done will review the recording to see what actually happened.
10-16-17 The loader has taken some of the metallic items to the odds and ends pile by the speeder sheds.jpg

I have reviewed the recording and will not expound on what I think I am seeing.

Let's hope whatever happened isn't serious. Still drawing a crowd of onlookers when I looked in.
