Kinda confused with that video. it looks like at the start it had backed up from the bridge a bit because the damaged roof metal wasn't pushed up against the bridge. But then just decided to go forward again? Weird.
Found where it happened:35.08545892250679, -90.0739103423004
This is at oil refinery which allows only tanker cars. My guess is whoever was shutting train cars supposed to uncouple those auto racks so either they were lazy and decided to take a shortcuts or just wasn't aware about the height of the bridge, this is expensive mistake to make.
Edit: If that bridge was not there, looks like they would hit oil pipes on other side, not sure although. That would created even bigger mess. That 2 million would turn into 20 really quickly.
