Quote:WBZ-TV has learned that the operator, David Vazquez had wrapped a rubber telephone cord around an accelerator control, known as the Cineston valve that puts the train in motion. When he stepped out to flip a bypass switch due to a signal problem, sources say he had forgotten to remove the cord and the train started rolling, a clear job violation.
