Ouch. Pretty sure any fertilizer dumped like that into a river in mass quantities  isn’t going to do the ecosystem any favors.

Why does this look like way more than 20 rail cars?

Lucky it’s towards the end of summer and so there isn’t much run off at the moment.

There’s something weird with the preview (maybe still the initial report? ) , in the article updated to 60 cars.

All things considered, for having 60 rail cars full of X derail and spill their contents, potash is one of the less dangerous options.

Wow, that is easily the most violent derailment aftermath I’ve ever seen

Oka y, 60 makes way more sense.

Wow, that is a mess...I don’t see any engines, and it reports no injuries and no hasmet materials (potash, apparently), so glad the rail crew are OK.....I guess the rear of the train derailed?

Well, a certain spot in BC just got a lot more fertile.

Is there a cultural reference I should be embarrassed to not grasp?

We’re lucky it wasn’t oil/petroleum or huge demonstrations would be going down tomorrow Covid be damned .

Likewise the absolute worst: P assenger. Good chance it would be the deadliest in Canadian history.

Not really.  I mean, yes.

I was genuinely shocked the train was coming to a halt. How on earth did the train drivers even notice they clipped the bridge?

Notice the very beginning of the video: the train is slow/stopped, and the top is already peeled back.

I think there’s more to the story than what’s been revealed thus far.

No, it is not stopped. The roof had been pushed back further than the bridge by the car that got caught. The train was not starting up but was still in the process of slowing down.

For convenience:

Gotcha, I was mis-remembering the oddity at the beginning.

You can see that in places the roofs of crossovers had been caught by the collapsing roof and flung backwards, taking up the roof before the bridge. That one spot does seem pretty odd but I think it was a chain of cars got pushed together to upend the roof.

So

If that diagram makes any sense.
