But who in their right mind transports fuel and fertilizer on the same train?! Quite literally an accident waiting to happen...

7 railroad cars full of fertilizer- That would do it. The most common fertilizer in the world is... Ammonium nitrate. As far as transporting with tank car loads of liquid hydrocarbons, DOH!!! Even if they didn't mix during a derailment, the heat of the fire could cook off the nitrate. Dumbest transport accident I've heard of since that guy jacknifed his tractor trailer full of ANFO and lit a flare to keep people from running into his wreck.
