It appears both were empty dump gondolas, one Ex-MNCR and one LIRR.
Those side-dump hoppers are junk and were when the LIRR bought them. There was a loaded car behind empties, and the truck fell off one of them. This all happened at way less than 15mph; probably about five...
Just like the ore jennies, and not too far from the famous ore jenny derailment that decimated Queens Interlocking.
