It really is unbelievable considering what the train was hauling. It wasn't just a long coal train:
> It had five locomotives at the front and 136 cars trailing behind, about half hauling hazardous material: propane, isobutane, ethyl alcohol, phosphoric acid and molten sulfur heated to 235 degrees Fahrenheit.
I could have killed a lot of people. It seems really dangerous to play fast and loose with those rules while also carrying super dangerous cargo. It's very easy to imagine the wrong composition of those dangerous trailers getting derailed.
