I heard earlier what one of the officers said for another possible cause but i'll hold off on that..Speculation..
Thanks datainmotion for helping on this, i'm rusty on this. Been awhile.
I could use some WD-40 on this myself 
I've heard some conjecture on this as well. Only time will tell on the official cause...

WESTMINSTER - Police are trying to determine if someone is to blame for an overnight train derailment.

According to investigators on the scene, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train derailed at 10:36 p.m. on Monday at the intersection of Wadsworth Parkway and 95th Avenue.
Police said the train struck debris and pushed it 3,000 yards before coming to a stop.
Three employees from BNSF were on board, and one was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, according to police.
Westminster Police Investigator Trevor Materasso said they quickly accounted for the 37 rail cars that were still attached. They were able to identify four locomotives that were not transporting hazardous material. Firefighters from the Westminster Fire Department were also able to seal a small fuel leak, he said.
"It could have been a lot worse," Materasso said. "We didn't have to evacuate any residents."
Police are asking commuters to avoid the area throughout the day while they continue to investigate and clean up debris.
