They ran "spil czech" and it was all OK.
Journalism ain't what it used to be. Cobbled English and poor spelling is everywhere.

Picture on the link shows the rear end DP unit on fire. The caption on the link in one sentence says it was the rear engine. Where they goofed up was using the word "train" instead of "engine" when saying there was no one on board.

henry6 Evidently a mid train helper, remote controlled. But who took time to explain it to the reporter? Or did someone and that's all that was understood?

I suspect that the latter might be closer to the truth..he only heard what would sell the paper. It's what would sell, never mind the truth....

It is hopeless to try and explain anything to most of the clowns who pass for 'Journalists'(scribblers) these days. They simply are filling column inches, or a two minute sound bite, and have no interest beyond that goal.
Particularly , when one of them tries to describe an activity that is in anyway technical or simply oriented to a particular area of interest.

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
The scariest part about a story like that is the "rumors" that then begin to circulate about how there's no crew on the trains running through their town.

Mud: "I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear." Love the line about the "bubble-headed-bleach-blonde" in that song.

News item titled; "Train catches fire". OK, fine. But the small paragraph description got me: "The train was operated automatically so no one was on board". Sheeesh.
Another coal train stalled on West Allis hill.
