As of late afternoon, the N.Korean government had shut down all news
agencies. They're doing what the Russians used to do: Denying bad news.
Incidentally, the trains were also carrying LP gas. A real mess.

Apparently a South Korean news agency has reported that two gasoline
loaded trains have collided in North Korea, killing thousands and
leveling an entire town. Radio Exterior de Espana noted that there has
been no independent confirmation of this. NBC News (US) has reported
that it was near the border with China and that phone lines between NK
and China have been cut in order to prevent info from getting out. I
don't have my Yaesu hokked up so I can't tune around and see what others
are saying. What's Radio Korea Intl (NOT VoK, but South Korea)
reporting? Anybody hear anything?
