The crew in the train from which this video is being shot did everything to the book.

The crew on the train oncoming in the video ran through a red signal.

The wreck site is less than a hours drive from where I live, and it was a nasty wreck. It took almost a week to get the line open again and at that point there were still cars and locomotives laying on the ground awaiting to get picked up.
