Loss of both emergency diesel generators - “B” diesel generator was being worked on; in accordance with test procedures, “A” diesel generator is required to be tested within 24 hours following having redundant diesel out-of-service; did not pass test. Unplanned emergency core cooling system (ECCS) discharge to the reactor vessel; reactor trip and safety injection (SI) occurred during the performance of testing. Train derailment on site - while removing empty cask car from the Protected Area, the rail cars were moved onto the Engine Spur to allow passage of the CSX engine on adjacent Plant Spur; cask car shifted; 4 wheels of the car left the rails.
