Ohio Train Accidents

In 2001 in Toledo, Ohio, a railroad engineer applied the dynamic brake improperly when stepping out to reset a switch. The train was on its own for 66 miles before being stopped by another railword worker in Kenton, Ohio. The CSX freight train contained 47 cars, some of which contained molten phenol acid, which is very hazardous. Luckily, the train was stopped before disaster struck, but because the freight train operator was negligent, a serious accident could have occurred and people could have gotten hurt or killed.
