I should add a bit here, MASEW is the train symbol and it reads Manifest Alton and Southern to Englewood.
Mainifest is a term for general freight.
Alton and Southern is a railroad in St. Louis and it operates the large yard there.
Englewood is the huge former Southern Pacific yard in Houston and is the "big kahoona" down there still.

WOW!

Firefighters quickly extinguish train fire in Bryan

that come from France???

I'm suspicious of the videographer. They were recording before the explosion took place

There's all sorts of crazy things caught by railfans, including derailments and, in a 1991 Chicago video, where a distracted woman walks straight in front of a freight train.

Doesn't mean they didn't have anything to do with it

If they can fail turbo oil seals causing oil spray to ignite using telepathy I would love to meet them.
