Can anyone identify this location and train from the earthquake?

I had not seen any trains all twisted up like that in coverage before.

The location is explicitly given in the picture's legend: Shinchi Eki in Fukushima Ken.

 

As far as the trains are concerned... I'm not sure, I guess something like a E721 (Yes, that's it. I checked on the Japanese Wiki).

It's Shinchi Station on the Joban Line in Fukushima Prefecture.  The train is a E721 2+2 trainset (P1+P19) which was on a Sendai-Haranodai service.  The approx. 40 passengers who were on this train managed, with the help of two police officers, to escape to high ground w/o any injuries.
