The train carrying cars of iron ore — the raw material used to make steel — derailed near Kelso, according to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and fire department radio transmissions.
quote:
“It did derail and it is on fire. Carrying 180 cars of iron ore,” said a man on the San Bernardino County fire and rescue radio channel more than an hour earlier. Another fire employee said there was a fire “under the first locomotive.
quote:
I can confirm the crew was not in the cab at the time of the derailment and there was uncontrolled train movement,” South said. “No one was hurt and the cause is under investigation.”
quote:
Heard the crew jumped off and it was run away for over an hour,” the user tweeted.

Down around the corner
Half a mile from here
You see them long trains runnin'
And you watch them disappear
Half a mile from here
You see them long trains runnin'
And you watch them disappear

Sounds like a situation like the movie Unstoppable with Denzel Washington. Except in the movie it was in a well populated area.

So what happened? Runaway diesel engine? It shouldn’t have lasted an hour if it did that though they usually blow in a few minutes when they do that.

There's a long black train comin' down the line
Feedin' off the souls that are lost and cryin'
Rails of sin, only evil remains
Watch out, brother, for that long black train
[Verse 2]
Look to the heavens, you can look to the skies
You can find redemption starin' back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
[Chorus]
'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train
Feedin' off the souls that are lost and cryin'
Rails of sin, only evil remains
Watch out, brother, for that long black train
[Verse 2]
Look to the heavens, you can look to the skies
You can find redemption starin' back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
[Chorus]
'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train

Yeah I hope it's gonna be a long one
And if we're lucky, it's moving slow
I wouldn't mind if it lasted all night
Lying next to you on that hillside, let's go
[Chorus]
About a mile off Old Mill Road
In that spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off runnin'
Hurry up, girl, I hear it comin'
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old boxcars
The thought of you is drivin' me insane
Come on, baby, let's go listen to the night train
Let's go listen to the night train
And if we're lucky, it's moving slow
I wouldn't mind if it lasted all night
Lying next to you on that hillside, let's go
[Chorus]
About a mile off Old Mill Road
In that spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off runnin'
Hurry up, girl, I hear it comin'
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old boxcars
The thought of you is drivin' me insane
Come on, baby, let's go listen to the night train
Let's go listen to the night train

With a load of iron ore
26,000 thousand tons more
Than the runaway train weighed when empty
