The freight on the #1 looks mixed rather than being a returning unit oil train.

I'm sure that parking overnight with one loco running to keep the whole train brakes on was SOP.

Too bad there was a fire in an unattended vehicle.

Probably. But I am sure setting enough handbrakes to hold it if that failed was also in the manual, even if not always done.

Certainly it is now...
