As @George-K knows, I wish there was an ADSB (open air traffic data) version for trains. Security risks aside, it would be neat to track trains, both historically as well as live.
Speaking of which, I know many trains look the same but wow yesterday I was watching a train go by with a hundred or so of those black cylindrical cars (i.e., to store ethanol), and if I follow the tracks correctly, they do connect with the Raymond crash site. Maybe it was the same train? Weird.

A train wreck on fire is like a dumpster fire crash. You think the cliche is done, but it just keeps going.
