I’m at a loss as to how both spans could have been taken out by a single charge.
But if separate charges were placed on a vehicle and on a rail car, I’d not have expected the two damaged spans to be in the same place.
It looks as if the charges were separately emplaced on the bridges, which makes no sense.
But what is really confusing me is the train. Whether there was a charge on the train or on the track, I don’t see how it could have detonated without derailing the train. It looks like the train was stationary, which also makes no sense.
They could have sabotaged the engine on the train or killed the engineer and put on the brake. Or the engineer was the the saboteur and jumped off the bridge to some waiting buddies.
Or there were two GPS bombs. Or whatever.
There’s a 1001 ways to do this.

the blast comes from underneath the bridge - a boat bow is visible at the 2 or 5 second mark depending on which video. There was a sea drone that washed up a few weeks ago - it had enough room to pack 1,000-2,000 lbs of explosives. Blast from underneath can easily take out more than one section - there a lot of partially trapped explosive force that has to go somewhere.
The blast rolls up and over the roadway, rising until the ball of flames engulfs the fuel train, which looked, in early shots, to be stationary. The flame ball just rose until it reached the train which was fuel laden and simply caught fire - a very intense fire; no mystery there.
