Also I hope this turns into an example of why trains should not be run with only 1 person on board. If there were 2, chances are the 2nd would have insisted on doing things properly.
So I read it that the engineer went to the hotel, the fire in the engine started, and then firefighters and another representative from the railroad showed up to put out the fire. That rep told the fire department to go home after the fire was out. So the rep should've been checking that the train was secured since the engine was now inoperable.. That's the guy they should've fired..
