I like how the cop and the other guy have their hands in their pockets and are just strolling along.
"Welp.....that happened."

Westbound truck on Glenmore obviously misjudging how much room it had between the tracks and the car in front. Then, it's stuck on the tracks, and may have no place to go to get out of they way when the lights start. The train stopped not very much past the point of collision, so it can't have been going very fast at the point of collision.

They probably wanted to get it cleared before Nenshi held another press conference.

That tanker/trailer was still getting picked up when I went through at 21:15 
Must've been a real gong show when it happened.
