In the interest of punching through to open the mainline as quickly as possible, the derailed cars were shoved to the side. Hopefully the attached pictures tell a bit of the story. See the emergency lighting equipment, the 39 foot panel track installed with 136# rail, the almost new CMBX gondola still partially loaded with scrap tin and buried in a culvert, the wheel with the burnt off axle end, the CRLE green boxcar with it's end torn open and other cars about.
