Not sure about choo choos, but NTSB Hazardous Materials procedure regarding other forms of transit strictly prohibit transporting hazmats & food stuffs together.
E.g. an aircraft container with hazwhompers inside must be segregated from other containers with haz goods and/or food products.
Now I would assume rail shipment is no different. So either it's non food stuff grains (bio fuel silage) or this is yet another small piece of the puzzle of "protocol ignored or fucked up" relating to this train incident.

It seemed out of place, to me. Now I don't know all the laws regarding shipping by train, but it just stood out to me, you know?
