Looks like the Bredas are stronger than the Kinkis. They are newer of course so the buff standards might have been increased. This is certainly not as bad but it is reminiscent of the horrible fatal in 2008. Seems like a lot of deformation for the speed which I would guess was much less than the 40 mph Riverside Line.
Looking at the reports and pics online, it looks like the 8 hit the back of the 7. If it was the other way around, that operator would not be walking to an ambulance if that was the correct operator shown in one of the reports. He was lucky although possibly now out of a job. The 2008 crash was a 7 into a 7.
