Looks like the lead engine was 57

At least it was not a full load of autos,that remaining car will be totaled out.

[JBlaisdell]

There's work on 9W right nearby tying up traffic with only one lane open. I'm sure that was a factor.

[Statkowski]

No, the only factor involved was the driver ignored the grade crossing signals.
