CSX8888, The Story of the Rampage Train

There was a train with no driver, no destination, carrying 2 cans full of chemicals and speeding on the tracks at 80 kilometers per hour, ready to turn into a giant chemical bomb.

This is a video sent to me by a friend this morning, quite thrilling, like an American blockbuster, and it was indeed made into an American blockbuster "Crisis Speed".

On May 15, 2010, A CSX Transport 8888 train in Ohio, USA, which is connected to 47 cars by emD SD40-2 locomotives, slowly pulled out, and at the track intersection, the anxious driver violated the operating regulations and got off the train to pull the track change hand gate. The original low-speed train slipped off the acceleration lever due to body bumps and began to travel at a speed of 70 km / h. At this time, the cab was empty. The driver ran to try to board the train, but was exhausted. Driver negligence, resulting in driverlessness, and loss of control at 51 miles (82 kilometers) per hour.

Driverless trains will pass through more than a dozen densely populated towns along the way, and if they explode, the consequences are unimaginable.

After the dangerous situation occurred, the railroad company and the state police department immediately activated the emergency plan, and the media, which has always had a keen sense of smell, quickly opened the live broadcast.

The first plan is to let the train derail and overturn in a sparsely populated place, everyone thinks that the train will roll over and explode like watching a movie, but they didn't expect the train to directly press the derailer, and the 47-car train didn't do anything; this is a CSX employee who told the police that there is a "stop fuel supply" button on the locomotive, and the police immediately shoot the button with a gun, which obviously does not work.

Those who have watched "Railway Guerrilla" may say, climb the car, yes, a CSX employee also tried, but the train was too fast and failed. All trains along the way cleared the tracks to give way, of which Q63615 had 2 drivers (Jesse. Norton and Terry. Fussen proposed a bold method to catch the train to the CSX8888, with the front of the car hung on the 8888 tail, equivalent to hanging a large iron lump to it, in order to reduce the speed, when the speed slowed down, the train driver quickly climbed on the train, closed the accelerator, the train finally stopped. At this time, the unmanned train has driven 107 kilometers and traveled for two hours.

The risk of an accident is lifted. Looking back at the whole incident, if the driver did not get out of the car to pull the road, this thing may not happen, so people still have to do their job and consider whether to do things or not! Can you do it! Be thoughtful! The initiative of the company's employees is impressive, they do not watch the hilarity, not to hang high, they all show the spirit of an employee to do their duty to the company, as well as a strong humanitarian spirit. We live in an uncertain world where disasters always happen, and if people take the initiative to take responsibility like employees and bravely help within their own capabilities, it is possible to avoid a big disaster or reduce the harm of disaster.
