(as of 3:52pm cnetral)
I appears that one of the trains was made up of tank cars, perhaps for ethanol movement. There is smoke and what appears to be a stream of water from a fire hose, but not an intensity that would indicate that the train is loaded.

What railroad(s?) were involved?

If CSX were still being bashed the way it was a few years back, someone might well ask who else could crash three trains all traveling in the same direction...
