Ed, I agree with your point about needing to bleed the cars to be able to move them out of danger.  My only point about which end was to wonder if any head end cars were still standing on the rails or if they were all piled up.  And then based on that question, if they are piled up, can an investigator go through there and say that the cars in the pile show that the hand brakes were not applied at the top of the hill?  Mr. Burkhardt seems to be saying that his people did discover that no hand brakes were applied to the cars.  But then he also says that he feels that no hand brakes were applied. Now if there happened to be say ten cars on the head end still on the rails with no hand brake applied, I would say that is strong evidence that no brakes had been applied to those head end cars prior to the runaway.
