Which came first ? Did a derailment cause the bridge to collapse, thence the fire ? Or, did the bridge collapse first, causing the wreck.
Looks not too unlike the work of Gomez Adams !

I am curious how a car load of packaged lumber caught on fire? Or was burning because of another fire that spread to the lumber?

Possibly, the 'Moderators' can move it, and correct the post as it was on the Thread re: "Sunset Route Two-Tracking Update" ???
One end of the Union Pacific bridge in Tempe Arizona over the Tempe Town Lake has collapsed. The train on the bridge derailed and caught fire. Unknown if the derailment caused the bridge to collapse, or vice versa.
