The repetition of "train derailments happen all the time" is like introducing Chernobyl by saying power plants have service disruptions all the time. Not the story. A train carrying a compound specifically recommended not to be transported by rail because of the hazard it poses as an environmental contaminant, the malfeasance and corruption that led to it being delisted and being on that train, and the subsequent political and legal maneuvering so as to minimize liability while mobilizing media to misdirect and trivialize the risk and endangerment to a town of people is the story.
