The train is one of the safest ways to travel. But what is it? You feel the train gradually accelerating, and then you’re hurtling along at a crazy speed, ignoring stop lights, stations, and other trains. You pinch yourself in the vain hope of waking up, but this is not a nightmare — you’re on an out-of-control train! January 11, 2004. It was a cold winter night. Two people were supposed to start their shift at the train depot: 31-year-old driver Eduard and his 24-year-old assistant Alexander. But the driver hadn’t arrived by the time their shift started. Eventually, Eduard showed up, simply saying that he’d overslept. His medical results were normal, and he was completely sober. Everything was fine, no abnormalities — except that instead of a uniform, he was wearing a suit and tie, as if he were going to a social event. But no one thought it was strange... ????

He climbed into the cabin, and then his assistant noticed another oddity. Eduard did not insert a new tape into the speedometer, which was a serious violation of the regulations. - Having driven away from the loading station, the driver again violated protocol, refusing to check the serviceability of the brakes. - When the train approached the Volkhovstroy II - Kukol section, the station duty officer reported the approach of another train. But a few seconds later, the assistant driver screamed in horror: the driver pressed the acceleration button! - When Alexander tried to bring his colleague to his senses, his much stronger comrade threatened him with physical violence. - At 2:58, the train rushed through a red light at Kukol station, entered an unplanned route and rushed along the main track. - But everything changed at Valya station. At 3:02, when the runaway train had already passed the previous station, Myslino, the duty officer at Valya station guessed to cut off the power to the line. - At 3:45, the train finally lost momentum and stopped. Alexander realized that this was his only chance for salvation. - The police arrived at the station at 4:14, finding the driver on the floor in delirium. The man was taken to the hospital for psychiatric treatment. - If the crazy train had continued on its destructive path, it would have reached the city of Tikhvin with a population of 60,000. - The incident occurred on May 15, 2001, in northwest Ohio. Locomotive #8888 (hence the name) was pulling a train of 47 freight cars along the Walbridge-Kenton Line. - Everything was going well until the 35-year-old engineer noticed that one of the switches in the direction of the train was turned the wrong way. The man decided that with the train going so slowly, he would have time to get out, turn the switch and climb back into the cab. - Before leaving the cab, the engineer applied the wrong brake. - When the engineer tried to switch the brake switch to slow down, he accidentally increased the speed! - At first, they tried to stop the train with a portable release, but to no avail. Then the police started shooting at the emergency switch: it is designed to shut off the fuel supply. - When the speed of the out-of-control train dropped to 18 km/h, engineer John Hosfeld, who was waiting for the approaching train, climbed into the cab and turned off the engine.
