Three people, including both engineers, were killed with an additional 45 people injured. The accident report can be viewed at: https://www.jonroma.net/media/rail/accident/usa/fra/rar-4149.pdf The morning after the crash, the second unit of the freight train (Extra 9192 North) is seen laying amongst the carnage at the accident scene.
