JS and Everyone: This derailment of these three tank cars looks to be one of those "Oh $#!+" moments
(reaction from the train crew)...Were these loads or empties?

Most likely this was at a low speed even though this tore up the track and car trucks/axles substantially...
No real harm done and nothing leaked out (if they were loaded-will any contents be transferred to other
tank cars or even trucks?) to deal with - just rerailing and track restoration work for the repair crews...
The best outcome was that no one was hurt in this incident - hazmat responders are on standby...
