For a little more than an hour, a train carrying what was described as weed-killer and other chemicals was out of control, as, in, no one was driving the train. As the train swept along through farm fields and a college town, the rumor was that the engineer had had a heart attack. When it was over, we learned there was no one on board at all. Here's ABC's Lisa Stark. The drama began this afternoon when this freight train, 47 cars long, rolled out of a train yard near Toledo, Ohio. The train, carrying hazardous material in two of its cars, headed south and kept going, reaching speeds of up to 45 miles an hour through farmland and cities. "It's kinda .... kinda odd how it got started,...I mean, to have a train just get out of control like that, it's a little, little shaky." Local sheriff's deputies stood helplessly by. There was little time to evacuate nearby residents. At one point, a sheriff's deputy tried to shoot out the gas tank to drain fuel. As the runaway train sped on, the train's operator CSX came up with a plan. It would chase the train with a fast locomotive. Then, reminiscent of the Old West, CSX employees tried repeatedly to jump on the moving train. Finally, a company veteran succeeded and pulled the emergency brake. The train had traveled for two hours, 66 miles, from Toledo to Kenton, Ohio, all that way carrying a highly toxic chemical. "It is quite bizarre and it's unusual and we hope it never happens again." CSX says it does not know how the train started rolling. It's possible someone simply forgot to set the brake. Lisa Stark, ABCNEWS, Washington.
