While two people have a chat, when one of them says or does something and makes the other person forget what he/she was going to say, the person says "ne diyeceğimi unutturdun". Which means "you did something and you made me forgot what I was going to say".

düşünce akışını (silsilesini) bozmak
Since the literal meaning is this, and "remembering/forgetting" is mentioned in the next sentence, this translation would be suitable, IMO.

düşüncelerimi rayından çıkardı
"Filanca, şaklabanlığıyla düşüncelerimi rayından çıkardı" Türkçede de zaman zaman kullandığımız güncel bir ifade şeklidir. "train" metaforuna yakınlığı ve aynı şeyi ifade etmesi açısından önerebilirim.
