Protocall is that conductor goes back as far as he chooses, pulls the pin and crew moves out of the immediate area what they can.

     Article in the paper today quotes the NTSB as saying the train was going 10 M.P.H. when the derailment occured.  The article then said that 3 of the derailled cars were the old type, and launched into a a huge article about the sky falling.
