Those are definitely not the same train.
One possibility .... Do you have the original link/source where those photos were posted? I am not discounting the possibility that the media/libs are trying to pull something here, but often the media use “stock photos” when they don’t have an actual photo of an event. Could this be what happened? Maybe they are just using a photo of some other train wreck so that they have a sensational photo to go with the article without having to go to the trouble of actually sending someone out to take a picture?
And no, I’m not defending the media or anyone involved in what I do believe is a conspiracy to murder Republican congressmen. Just suggesting a possibility for this one data point.

I'm tired of arguing with conspiracy wackos and flybys who haven't spent entire days -- as I have, carefully analyzing all the available information.
Do what I did: search Google Images and Bing Images for, "congressional train truck collision" -- and search through (and examine in minute detail) all the images for yourself.
And use Google Earth to study the entire environs (track, road, landmarks) surrounding the collision site...

But you could be lazy and efficient -- and search this thread for all the explanatory results of the analyses that I (TXnMA) and Swordmaker and Faith65 have laboriously researched, composed and posted..

It's your conspiracy theory. Do some work yourself and prove the da*n thing! Then, be sure to enlighten us all with your "proof"...
