Nickatnight Date: 01/26/22 05:02 Re: Runaway rail car rolls 14 miles in Walla Walla (WA) Author: sp8192 Looks like it has an EOT on it at least! Guessing it was the rear car of a local train that cut off on the main, and the crew forgot to tie a hand brake?

Funny thing is I had the same thoughts when watching the autonomous rail car video. It seems like a realistic parrallel.
