I am revising my list of possible causes to include a fourth cause that I brought up in the part-one version of this thread.  In that thread, some posters thought that in the case of item #4, the engineer should have done the right thing no matter what he was ordered to do, even if it meant getting fired from his job.  I have also revised item #3 to include the possibility that MM&A has no train securement rules for Nantes.  FOUR POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE RUNAWAY: 1) The engineer failed to set sufficient handbrakes per the train securement rules of MM&A. 2) Somebody released the handbrakes after the engineer set them. 3) The train securement rules of the MM&A at Nantes are inadequate, or non-existent. 4) The engineer was unable to complete the train securement because he was told to quit working by his supervisors.   What about doing the right thing in the case of item #3?  If the rules simply call for 11 handbrakes, including the engines, should the engineer have gone further and tested the securement with a push-pull test even though the rules do not require it?
