<p>[quote user="overall"]</p> <p>National Public Radio is reporting that the cause of the runaway was, in fact, not enough brake force applied to the train. That is according to the Canadian Government investigators.This came over the air at about 12:15 pm today.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">That statement almost goes without saying. The unresolved question is why there was not enough brake force applied to the train.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">It could have been that the brakes leaked off, or that there were not enough hand brakes applied, or that somebody released air brakes or hand brakes.</span><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"></span></p>
