In the new Steven Spielberg movie, War of the Worlds, there is a scene where an Amtrak train blows through a crossing at around 80 mph, completely on fire, locomotive and all. Near as i can tell, the loco is a GE P42. <br /> <br />My question is, if the loco is completely on fire like that, arent there systems to prevent a runaway like that? Or would those systems be burnt to a crisp by the fire? <br /> <br />**a note of caution** I was deeply disturbed by this scene, and I want to make sure it is impossible. <br /> <br />
