You only need to derail ONE of the bogies/wheel sets of only one of the wagons for the train to be "derailed".

Yes, it looks like the train in the image jack-knifed, suggesting it probably isn't articulated. So the affected coach can be pushed off by itself, rather than being stabilised by the weight of the rest of the train.
