BNSF derailment Gallup New Mexico - video of explosion

Appears the derailment was from 4/26. Video of a dashcam as a truck was passing by, right as a huge fireball occurred.

CSX L304 tends to work west out of Lansing around 10-11pm, returning around 3-5am.
CSX L305 heads east out of Lansing around noon, comes back around 6-10pm. Both tie up for the day on weekdays only typically.
