Here is a recent quote summarizing the explanation for the runaway:   Burkhardt told the daily La Presse that Nantes firefighters "showed up and put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. To do that they also shut down the first locomotive's engines. This is what led to the disaster." He explained that the train's brakes were powered by the locomotive and would have disengaged when it was shut down, causing the driverless train to start rolling downhill towards Lac-Megantic.   As I understand the explanation that has been given in this thread, the explanation given above by Mr. Burkhardt cannot possibly be accurate.    <a href="http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130710/railway-blames-firefighters-canada-train-disaster">http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130710/railway-blames-firefighters-canada-train-disaster</a>
