Shame, I see no comments about the fireman that went out because excess oil had caught fire, with little to be destroyed by the fire..  The report I read state that the fireman, with NO railroad training enterer the engine and shut the engine off..   That is a NO-NO!   With the loss of the engine, the air started o bleed out..  The result was a train with no control to speak of..   I doubt that any city trains in starting or stopping these huge engines..    Next time you rewrite the story, please look it up and correct your oversight...!.
