This is finally up on FR after a full day+? It has gotten a mention because it allegedly disrupted Gitmo trials!
I live 5 min from the site and got a look yesterday. Mostly from the same place the TV on-screen reporters are perched upon. So didn’t see a whole lot, just 1 car still toppled next to the caboose and coal piles beyond that, with earth-movers working them down.

In the story I saw yesterday on this, there was some speculation about whether the two unfortunate women who perished might have somehow caused the incident. The emergency brakes on the train were apparently applied automatically, causing the derailment ... and there was no clear indication of what could have triggered that.
