And that's why I never pull up close to the tracks when the gates are down.

Weird, it looks like the tank car was leaning way over when it emerged from the trees then when it rolled back upright it went over center and took out the cars in front and behind.  In the drone shot, it didn't look like there was a broken rail, odd.  Good thing that car wasn't filled with anhydrous ammonia or chlorine with everyone running up to it.

There's a prototype for everything.
If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable.
DCC is not plug-n-play.

I kinda thought the center beam flat tipped first and took the tankcar with it.

Tankcar reminds me of what happens when a model tankcar's weight is loose inside... a little too tipsy.

The guy from the dump truck looks like he has a hi-viz vest, and may be a city or county employee.  If so, I could see someone like that inspecting the damage.  I don't know why the woman would want to get close to the train.

Odder, at the end, in the aerial shot, it looks like they climbed over the wreck and were walking down the street.  Not something I'd want to try.  I'd turn around and find another crossing!
