I saw that earlier. We were in a restaurant and a TV that had closed captioning was on. I read that they had a head on camera, so hopefully that helps figure out what exactly happened.

Yes, some of the locomotives have what they call LocoCam. It records the front view and exterior sound. It is used by RR legal departments mostly to be their “Russian DashCam” to show the engineman was sounding the horn and ringing the bell at grade crossing accidents. They do not record the sound inside the cab though because it woukd be too much like listening in on a union meeting on how the engineman and conductor can screw over management.
