Why not give it a try ? I think people are pushing for you to try some stuff out and see how YOU get along. Bombarding people to help get old after a while and people will look the other way after a while !

"If you want something done right, you got to do it yourself."

That's why I am surprised this Items Wanted section is still around, no one here wants to lift a finger to help anyone out.

All I can say about it is The locomotive engines CSX 8888 and CSX 8392 were part in two distinct incidents. On May 15, 2001, CSX 8888, often referred to as the "Crazy Eights," took part in a well-known event. Due to a broken throttle, the locomotive—which was driving a train of 47 cars—became unresponsive and started to accelerate erratically into Ohio. Before a railroad worker got aboard the running train and set the emergency brakes, the train had reached speeds of up to 47 mph. The incident inspired the 2010 film "Unstoppable," starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. CSX 8392 was involved in a collision with Amtrak's Capitol Limited passenger train on December 20, 1987, in Chase, Maryland. The incident occurred when a Conrail The Capitol Limited was struck by a locomotive that crossed over into CSX's track while moving in the opposite way. 16 people lost their lives in the collision, and more than 170 others were hurt. The tragedy prompted modifications to the rules governing railroad safety, such as the introduction of Positive Train Control, a system that may automatically stop a train to avoid collisions.

I hope it helps
