A lot of those must be Rapido cars.  I can tell by all the fine under-body details

The brake line detail must have contacted one of the trucks and started the derailment

Amateur.
Hopefully UP will learn from NS how to have a proper derailment in the future.  :trollface:

As a geologist who has performed numerous environmental cleanups, this is a mess.  How many tankers have leaked what, and how much? The auto racks, if they had cars, would be leaking oil, gas, and antifreeze.

I have been to 2 derailment clean-ups, and they are a real mess. They were not my favorite places to be!
