  Freight Train is my old chicken band handle from back in the day when we ran big tx's just to talk across town.

Was this from a security camera for the train? Very odd view. I guess the engine stayed on the ground. That tanker looked scary, though. Good tihng for the automatic brakes.

I believe that some trains carry multiple surveillance cameras these days. 

The Weather Channel picked up on this video and they've posted it on their site with some commentary about the unusual tornado.

One has to wonder if the box cars were loaded with cargo.  They seemed to tip rather easily yet the tanker car stayed on the track for the most part. I guess the cargo in the box car could have been less dense.
