Hi,

There was a very similar one in Kansas in 2002, which we used as an illustration why you shouldn't blindly follow a procedure, it went something like this,

It was an ordinary day when the coal train left the depot, on the way an axlebox overheated and the train crew spotting smoke followed the procedure and immediately halted the train.....

Unfortunately with the affected wagon on a timber viaduct - molten bearing metal dripped onto the timbers setting them alight....

Although I have retired and don't have the original slides I found a couple of them, courtesy of the information superhighway at:

http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-504784_162-10006892-13.html - (and 14)

enjoy!

Richard
