Yes, they mention that in the article.

They mention hours of operation, but don't talk about it in context of the derail, and at several points implicitly suggest that the derail is about "oversize" trains only.

I think it's slightly misleading in that regard, but otherwise a very interesting explanation.  Yet somehow, not sufficient to defuse the paranoia some people seem to have on FB.
