My gosh...a train hit a car and it caused a fire...? A car/train collision doesn’t result in a fire, unless it is a part of terrorism.
Pretty broad statement you make there. Are you sure of that?
How many gallons of gasoline does a typical SUV hold? Is gasoline combustible? Would a gas tank rupture if that SUV was struck broadside by a train traveling, say, 55 mph? (Passenger trains can run at up to 79 mph in that section I believe.) Suppose the train was powered by a 600 volt DC third rail (it was). Would a collision with a metallic object (for instance an SUV) cause metal debris to contact that third rail and thus possibly spark since most metals just happen to conduct electricity? Would such a spark if produced cause ignition of, say, 20 gallons of gasoline spewing from a ruptured fuel tank on that SUV? Would such an ignition of, say, 20 gallons of gasoline produce a fire of explosive proportions? Could all of the above occur without a terrorist involved? Could driver stupidity which allowed the SUV to be on the tracks have anything to do with it? (After all, an intelligent driver knows not to enter a grade crossing unless they can safely complete the crossing, rush hour traffic and red lights being part of that equation.)
Now... Please explain your stated conclusion...
