"Runaway train travels through downtown Houston
by KHOU.com Staff
March 21, 2010
HOUSTON - Officials are trying to find out what went wrong after a Union Pacific train started moving Sunday morning with no one at the controls. The runaway train traveled through downtown Houston on its own for about 15 minutes before crews could get it to stop. The train traveled from 902 Washington to the 2000 block of Rothwell, where it stopped just south of Interstate 10 East. No one was hurt.
==================================
OF COURSE no one was hurt.
The reporter was all wrong. He saw an unoccupied locomotive on a train, appearing to push it. It was actually an unmanned helper engine, controlled via radio from the actual FRONT of the train.
KHOU pulled the story as soon as they found out. Don't know what happened to the reporter or to the unnamed "staff" who had taken the story and swallowed it hook, line and sinker."
