Heck the first locomotive I learned to operate still had a deadmans pedal that had to be held down to run.

Every once in a while they do let go we heard one let go in the dead of winter sounded like a rifle shot when it broke.

Glad I got out years ago most RRs are just about the money now easier to get fired that stay employed there now.

Most amtrak units here use P3s and P5s they are so shrill it sounds like someone got kicked in the nuts everytime I hear one.

Looks to me as the engine started to run away it could no longer burn all the oil being fed to it so the exhaust filled up thats where the fire came from.

A lot of them will load up with fuel while idleing all night during cold weather then catch fire in the exhaust when going back into service.
