I recall that "True" runaways are really things to fear. Alot of technology goes to prevent them. There is a bit of too much "Hollywood" in some of these movies. I too recall the runaway desiels in ohio a few years back, the only problem they had to worry about is "Is the coupler open on that runaway engine?" On areas where trains threaten to runaway the railroad takes trouble to install derails and procedures for communication in case of trouble. Of course these are not really visable in the movie. The GG1 with the passenger train into Washington Station was a true runaway. I believe that they actually built a temporary platform over the sunken engine to accomodate the people for several days.
