    77 petrol tanker runaway train derail and explode

    With all due respect, your statement has some large holes. -As for 'the power is always running', the WHOLE POINT of the thing is that the fire dept shut down the engine because of a stack fire. That fact is not in dispute. -As for the locomotive, it was an eastbound train, and it rolled away...

    I think the engineer didn't set the hand brakes, and after the engine was shut down after the fire, the air bled out, and away they went. Sent from my Vic20 using Java Moose
