If you read the article I think the train hit a truck.

It seems the Railways in the US are having a bad week. This is the second bad crash this week that's even made the news over here in the UK.

Can't really see good in the pictures, but the crossing maybe looked like a private crossing with not signals? but, wow what a wreck! glade no one was really hurt.

Found this on YouTube. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=RRuqJR58y7M&feature=endscreen[/youtube] What I can't understand, is how the train derailed. There's no derailment in the video. !*don-know!* Seems rather odd.

I think if you look closely you can see that the boxcar right behind the power is on the ground just before it leaves the frame. Possibly a piece of debris from the collision?
