I'll ask this question to any engineers who are on board: In a situation as in this video. where a train has partially derailed at speed and cars to a locomotive's rear are out of control and are racing towards the rear of such locomotive - would an engineer have the capability to continue to maintain speed to "outrun" the runaway units, or would the train automatically go into emergency stopping beyond the engineers control but setting up the locomotive for a rear end collision ?
