Looks like something knocked that first car (the engine?) off the track. No sign of anything it might have hit on the track (freight car, etc).

I wonder where the engineers are? No one has mentioned them, and they would have been right there in the front.

An update from the poster at the other site:

I just got done talking to my buddy ... there was a track inspection car that went by earlier today ... my one buddy was in the engine and he said there was no blood inside the cab just a cracked windshield ... unconfirmed reports are they're looking for the engineer ... they can't find him ... news is showing rescue crews carryng body bags across the tracks ... no bomb or incendiary material were found ... 1,2 and 3 tracks are completely destroyed ... 4 track is out of alignment ... i'll eat crow (hate crow) ... word out in the field is the incident was speed induced.

Seems like the engineer survived and may have fled the scene. Nothing suspicious like a bomb or incendiary found so far.

“Seems like the engineer survived and may have fled the scene.”

OMG. So hard to imagine someone doing this.

Nothing suspicious like a bomb or incendiary found so far.

There is a report of a crater.
