<P>I saw a docomentary on the Cajon runaway once.  The train had been loaded improperly.  If my memory is right, it was a unit train of open hoppers usualy loaded with a mineral that I can't remember, but on that day they were loaded with Taconite, which needed to be filled to a lower level in the car.  The shipper was unaware of this and filled the cars to a higher level, causing the train to have a higher weight than the expected wieght in the calculations for the grade and motive power requirements.</P> <P>Acording to the documentary, once the train had been loaded, a runaway was inevitable.</P>
