It's the first day of a brand new route with brand new railcars.
Was this a test run?

It could have been a meteorite too. I'm not saying it was, but we have to admit it is entirely possible.

no first day of service for passengers.
80 mph supposedly
?'s of if the weight was correctly tested. Tracks are old, route is new

Maybe the conductor thought the interstate looked like the faster route this morning.

You'd imagine they do test runs first before starting passenger service, right?

They just gave an update on the radio. They said "officials are treating this as a mass casualty incident".

Without knowing any other details, the exact same odds it would derail at any other specific point

frick, I was supposed to take this train over Thanksgiving but ended up renting a car instead. Wouldn't have been on that portion of track but still crazy.

If it was traveling 80 the front of the train looks to be in good shape for hitting a truck. At least the side that can be seen.
