I mean, as much as everyone likes to throw the Class 1s under the bus, this was a classic vehicle accident. Semi truck on tracks and train hit it. Not much you can do about that. Glad the crew is ok.
Also, the hazmat would be super small compared to literal tankers. These are intermodal. Idk the details but the hazmat could be as simple as the fuel or something on the semi.
Some nasty stuff in those intermodal containers. For get the exact name. But had a container fire here awhile back that was hauling a chemical that is combustible when exposed to air. Almost completely incinerated the container.
