Recently the Csxt had their runaway local frt.Last week the U.P. experienced 
a runaway tank car loaded with corn syrup.The car was "on spot" at an 
industry and some "vandals" decided to see what would happen if you released 
the brakes. It rolled about a mile and crashed into a switch engine in the 
yard. The U.P. bought the car on site as it dumped its load all over the 
engine,ended up w/o a sill or trucks on one end.The engine had a hump in the 
top of the hood and looked like it acquired a bull dog face.
