It’s probably because of the train driver making a wrong turn when he wasn’t supposed to.

not too familiar with the Baltimore system, but are they even able to do that? I thought it was more or less automated and out of the conductors control unless they put it in manual.

So they are automatic but the still require push buttons to be activated as well as communication with MTA Central. Most train derailments are due to operator error.
