Interesting, but derailments per month is probably not the right metric for comparison. Maybe derailments per 100,000 miles traveled would be a better metric for comparisons. Total train miles may be significantly up due to increased domestic oil, coal, and gas production. Stress on the rail beds due to increased traffic, aging of the rail infrastructure, and not being able to handle the increased traffic could have a lot to do with it too. But then again....
