Looking at the press photo the rear of the down train involved is visible just past the crossing so it's possible it didn't 'strike out' fully, especially likely if treadles and track circuit cables were damaged in the incident.
Just a quick correction, train detection on the Arun Valley is via Axle Counters and not track circuits. As it stands one REB has been totally trashed by this tragic incident which has taken out all the crossing controls plus about 12 Axle Counter sections, all of which will all need repairing.
