It would seem that a certain lumber yard near Boston uses its forklift to push center-sill cars around - sans the couplers.
Of course, one is just bound to get away from 'em - already did! Jumpted the switch onto the MBTA main and hit a commuter train several miles down the line - hit hard too!
At least according to several Boston area news reports - that's where an accident investigation has turned. BTW, the NTSB declined to investigate this one, POing the rail unions. The local police are handling it!
What I wonder is where the H was the derail on that lumber spur!
