Tulsa World is reporting (see link) that the BNSF and FBI are treating this morning's derailment as an act of vandalism.

That means the feds will be crawling all over this! This will be an expensive incident with all of those new cars!

Oh yes, and the whole system will get reminded that when stopped, have air set so nobody can "pin off" the rear of your train. Whoever did this was extremely lucky to pull it off, or knew what they were doing...

I wondered if they were blocking a crossing for a long time. Have heard of irate drivers pulling pins to clear a crossing.

Where the auto train was stopped had zero crossings blocked. That's one of the reasons they stop there a lot.
