Same thing happened in North Dakota some time back. BNSF intermodal was crossing the trestle over the Cheyenne River on the mainline between Fargo and Minot ND. Thunderstorm micro burst blew containers off the train, into the river and valley below. Train was moving at the time. There is video of this too I believe, available on YouTube through a search.
