[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans 36 responses and no answer yet to my question yet (is it really that bizarre???) guess I'll try another network, although a couple of responses were "strange " enough for a few laughs( could they be serious???) [/quote] Would a train going down hill into a town be going so fast that it couldn't stop within a reasonable distance? I've never driven a train but something tells me that it's not like soapbox derby where you get up to the tops of tall hills and and shout "wheeeee!" as you free coast down the slope. Wouldn't a train want to make a controlled descent? Sure U can believe that such an occurance would grind flat spots into the wheels, but grind them so far that the loco couldn't even turn the wheels? my bet is that the tale is slightly exaggerated, it probably wore flat spots in the wheels so bad that it was INADVISEABLE to drive the loco out, because the flats would have beaten up the rail so badly. NOT because the loco couldn't turn them
