<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">This is thoroughly amazing!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The president of the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railroad says that the train ran away because the fire department shut down the one engine that was running; and that the engine needed to be running in order to prevent the train from losing braking and running away. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So, according to the president of the railroad, it was essential for one engine to be running because if it stopped running, the train would run away on the grade. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Engines can automatically shut down for a variety of reasons, so it would be the height of irresponsibility to base the prevention of an inevitable catastrophe solely on the expectation that a running engine will keep running. </span></p>
