Almost no one knows this, but last June, a 90-car train got away from its crew in #Hernando, MO, rolling three miles through two public crossings, a ghost train that included *47* potentially explosive propane cars. The #BombTrain neither crashed nor derailed, which meant that #GrenadaRailroad/#GulfAndAtantic didn't have to report it.
