(erielack) Video of CSX runaway crossing abd. EL main in Kenton



MS-NBC has video footage of the CSX runaway train that travelled 65 miles from 
Stanley Yard south on the old T&OC.  The yard job powered by CSX SD40-2 8888 
(ex-CR) was on the loose southbound, when another CSX crew aboard SD40 8392 
cut off from their own train at Dunkirk OH and chased it down from behind and
eventually coupled up, and acting as a brake sled that slowed the train down 
enough so the conductor from a GP38-2 powered local in Kenton OH could climb 
aboard the head end of the runaway.  The helicopter footage show the train 
crossing the abandoned EL mainline at Kenton, and finally getting stopped 
south of Kenton at the Rte 31 crossing.
