Looks like F Unit powered train is switching cars related to SD9 powered local on the right.

They could have used it to fill the water tank cars for fire service.

I believe that a passing freight doing switching, or derailed itself, was fouling the main and the resulting sideswipe by the Starlight took out the spout.
