The only report I can find so far   https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/06/09/at-least-15-union-pacific-railcars-off-the-tracks-at-walcott-junction/

You have to love this line from the article:  "The two trains are intermingled together."   Looks like a bit more than 15 cars.

Preliminary thought was something hanging off one train got into the other train. But they were still investigating.
