Check out the aftermath aerial view here.

Would a derailing or blocking device of some sort at the downhill end of the train have possibly averted or reduced the severity of this incident? Maybe additional ones, every-so-many cars within the train? Having such a setup would require that the crew would be covering the whole length of the train, both after stopping and again before starting again.
