There is a video of one of the car's with what looks like sparks and fire under the car. There were reports that a hot box detector sent a warning to the crew on the train, don't know exactly when they knew there was a problem. It's likely a bearing on one of the wheels failed and the axel caught fire.

I imagine that maintenance was slacking. The bearings did not get greased on scedule. Wear was not checked. Not one engineer on that train ever checked for worn/ungreased bearing noise? Not even for a train that is pulling toxic chemicals cars?

These rail company's are making money hand over fist, it's not out of the realm of possibility that these trainwrecks are from simply neglect. Longer trains, less maintainance, cutting corners trying to maximize profit.

I don't know if people remember the movie "unstoppable" It was based on another incident that happened in Ohio with a runaway train. This looks more and more like neglect.
