I don't know when this picture was taken, but
according to this article, after the initial explosion of a couple cars during impact, all the remaining propane was burned off in a controlled burn done by firefighters. So I'm not sure if this picture is before or after the controlled burn.

ONEIDA, N.Y. — Firefighters emptied three derailed CSX fuel tankers into a pit Tuesday and set the fuel ablaze to help clear the scene so federal officials can begin their investigation into the cause of Monday's freight train derailment.
The derailed tankers containing liquid propane were emptied because they were too unstable to move, said Oneida Fire Chief Don Hudson.
