<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Well, holding the train from rolling away is one thing, but the point that the news orgainization was making when they videoed the cab of an unattended and running locomotive on a train was the point that a vandal could set it into motion. And this was out west in open country in a completely unsecurred setting. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">If there was ever a need for an open derail, it would have been a need for one just ahead of that parked oil train that ran away last Sunday. It should be a 100% tamper-proof derail that can be locked into the open position, and connected to an alarm system that alerts the authorities if the closing mechanism is activated. Either that, or relocate the railroad so it does not pass through a town at the bottom of the hill on a 10 mph curve.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"></span></p>
