I would doubt this was terrorism related. Probably a simple broken rail or split switch. All the dust cloud shows is that something was derailed. Dragging equipment will kick up quite a bit of dust at speed. A terrorist act would be more obvious, like a bomb crater or blown apart equipment. Track that looks like spaghetti frequently is the result when trains derail at any speed. I wouldn't be too quick to look for any causes beyond the obvious unless there is reason to suspect more. <br /> <br />LC
