In Oglesby Ill. there is a cement plant. (LoneStar Industries) They have a small railroad that they use to switch the plant. They do not use Derailers. They use track switches that they set to run any run away's down a track that has a big pile of sand at the end. The sand stops the car and keeps damage to a minnimum. One day two cars got away. the switch was set properly but the cars went down the track and into a creek. Seems they were having a new Employee parking lot built. The contractor needed one more truck load of sand to fini***he job. Rather then buy one he seen the sand pile at the end of the track and thought it not important. There still laughing about that one in Oglesby. <br /> TIM A
