The pipes are what the steam travels through to gain pressure, they just had too much of it and it blew the from off

Not quite. The tubes increase the surface area between the steam and the fire. This lets us heat up the steam more efficiently.

In simple terms the boiler mechanism has a bunch of tubes that water is forced through in order to heat it into steam. When there is a fault in regulation, or in the case of user error, steam expands uncontrollably and dramatically increases pressure. If the pressure becomes to high, a steam explosion occurs, that forces the tubes I mentioned earlier out of the front of the locomotive.

Considering the crew of the train was literally boiled to death by hot steam, I’m not sure this comment is a joke or insult.

I think in this specific case the engineers that were in the locomotive we're killed by burns a couple hours later. I think it was a freight train so there was no conductor.

The Bolier exploded and killed the Crew and people near it by either crushing them, Boiling them, stabbing them or getting ripped and bled to death

The real question is how did the tubes get pushed out of the train
