The below incident which happened some years ago was recently on a cable channel program. Six people died between two related accidents. Six locos with a loaded hopper car freight running at about a hundred miles and hour into about a forty mile an hour curve. Some of the loco wheel threads were beginning to liquify from the intense heat according to the TV program. Some dynamic brakes were not working and many other issues many train enthusiast are not aware of.

Gravity stopped the train.

Many links in the below link concerning this event. That is the reality we live in.
