The way I see it: steamer has it's own path set, straight ahead to the right of the yellow train, which photo 4 shows as clear of wreckage.

Red train would've been moving towards the camera, but has gone arse up over the points by the way the ballast has been pushed and not dragged in photo 3. The trailing bogie of the red locomotive and the following carriage seems to be following a path along the outer edge of the rail on the left (from the cameras perspective), so split points perhaps?

Also of interest is in the second shot, the ballast around the points on the left is nice and clean compared to the ballast around the points to the right, which is as dirty as the rest of it, which could mean recent point work.
