The train’s engineer (staying in town after parking his train at the top of a hill ~6 mi away) rounded up a railcar moving vehicle and pulled 9 to 13 cars off of the back of the train before they could become involved.
It is good that he did that but I don’t think it will buy him redemption. For his sake I hope he did everything by the book. I would not want to have this disaster on my conscience. Prayers for all involved.
