Well yes, even in the case of that latest link, I had to read between the lines and connect all the dots between those tanker wagons.  Here is what the link says: “… the train’s conductor locked the brakes and checked that the rail cars were secure shortly before midnight. He then checked into a hotel. The locomotive detached a half- mile outside the town, and the rest of the cars carrying the crude kept moving.” But I have to work with what I have got.  If this were an act of sabotage, the reported timeline suggest a window of opportunity of about 45 minutes.  Furthermore, it would have required either bleeding the 73 cars, or bottling the air.  Either would have required some time.  Maybe some of our railroaders could chime in on what it would take to bottle the air, and whether it would hold for the 7 mile runaway.
