Looks like it was due to a rock slide.

Via Daily Mail:

The Amtrak passenger train which derailed in Northfield, Vermont, on Monday morning was sent hurtling by a ‘freak’ rock slide, the governor has said.

Four people were hospitalized after the southbound train flew off the tracks and into a ditch 10 miles south of the state capital Montpelier at 10am.

On Monday afternoon, Gov Peter Shumlin told reporters there was a rock on the track that could not have been avoided even if brakes were applied, adding: ‘this really was a freak of nature’.
