Buckled train rails due to climate?

The train derailment in the vicinity of Moore OK has been dominating the media headlines this evening but doing a search on the various articles on it, the only entity reporting that the rails had buckled is OKC's KFOR TV.

To be clear, OK weather this year has been manic and rainier than usual...blamed on El Nino rather than anything to do with cimate, since OK is petroleum industry run. How ever lately, temps have gone from near 110 to a nippy cold front bringing the highs down to the high 80s/low 90s F...and that's a huge contrast. Just sayin'.
