sound like either there was a short that blew some fuses, or a wire/harness came loose, or both

well i am guessing that you know what the manual say for them, but for good measure i'd check anything light related.

but with it happening right ar you went over the tracks i would say to look under the dash and around the steering area for a loose wiring harness.

if you start to dig into the wheel though be careful not to set off the air bag

Check your kick panel on the left side, it should have the diagram of the fuse that are underneath there. I would believe you have a loose wiring harness, since when you went over the rail road track and your instrument lights went out.
