Newburgh Train Derailment

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)
+ Caustic Soda (NaOH)
+ 2 Million Gallons of Petroleum Products
+ 80 MPH Speeding Train in Restricted Speed area
+ on Bad Track
+ Near a FUEL DEPOT

It was like someone was TRYING to
make a Big Kerblammo,
but the plan failed-- LUCKILY!

It looks like the train may have struck
some track maintenance equipment
in an area which looks like a switch yard.

A video from this article calls it a "high-low boom lift" which 

Looks to me like several big problems here:
