The discussion involved an SP eastbound runaway wreck at San Bernardino Ca 5-12-89. #4449 was not there, but was elsewhere on SP at that time, possibly providing a managment distraction.

MDO
The Engineer on this train should have had a RFE/Pilot, as he was not really qualified on this territory,
however, all of the RFE were babysitting the 4449,instead.

It was this incident that turned me against Steam Specials on the SP.

Here is that discussion on TrainOrders:

If you don't have a membership, you should still be able to view the first page of the thread, with all of MDO's posts. Page 2 will be inaccessible without membership, but it has only responses by others (not MDO).
