It looked like a string-lining event. You need to put the heaviest cars on the front end. I would move the autoracks to the front, the empty center beam cars, and the gondolas to the rear.
Investigation finds that the crew refused to correct a known placement error on the track resulting in a string line derailment. Results: Engineer terminated and license revoked for 60 days. Conductor was terminated and license revoked for 90 days.

Awesome video! How long til we know the cause of the derailment? Will there be an investigation for the crew?
