That could have been BADDDD.

Those solid rocket boosters, for lack of a better term, are LOADED and ready for use.

The news report I saw said the fuel is 'safe' and 'stable' for shipping. The report also said the booster segments would be shipped back to Utah for inspection but made no mention of the sleeper car. I suppose we'll learn eventually how much damage the car sustained.

News article and photo of the derailment appeared a short time ago, showed two locomotives and passenger car laying on their sides.
