Worse, it was contained. Compare gunpowder lying out on a table with gunpowder in a pipe bomb. The former makes heat and light but does very little damage beyond localised thermal burning (Ruby's sneeze). A pipe bomb, however, can cause considerable blast and shrapnel damage. Containment causes a far more violent and powerful reaction.

Contained in the shipping boxes, the same material as caused a moderately harmless fireworks display when Ruby sneezed could have been a very, very powerful bomb.

Of course, that then begs the question: why did they even bother setting charges in multiple cars, as I assumed was the case when Adam said "Move up to the next car"? In fact, why even bother boarding the train at all when they could have set a shaped charge on the third rail and triggered it as the Dust car passed over it? Other than pretext for a totally badass fight scene, it seems like an unnecessary amount of danger and trouble.

But back to topic: What are we predicting for Adam and Blake in the future? Will they reconcile, and he gets to meet the rest of RWBY, or will he go insane and try to kill her?
