I believe that is the western end of the Gobi Desert?  Mostly rock, cold climate.

That's crazy!  Looking at the terrain surrounding the track, you'd think that the hill would have blocked most of the wind from hitting the train, that must have been some serious wind.  I wonder what it was clocked at.

 A Cow must have eaten some Imported Grits from Roseyville & the resulting Greenhouse Gas carried by a strong gust of wind caused the train to leave its track. The offending cow is now in custody at a Golden Arches Gulog awaiting their fate for causing this offense.Wink [;)]Wink [;)]Clown [:o)]Smile [:)] Take Care.
