JOIE CHEN, CNN ANCHOR: Happening right now, rail officials try to solve a mystery involving a runaway train carrying hazardous chemicals. The train was finally halted today after a two-hour trek through northern Ohio. When rail officials boarded, though, the engine was empty. Had the engineer bolted or did the train leave the yard by itself? Joining us now with the latest is reporter Tom Bosco of CNN affiliate WNWO. He's in Kenton, Ohio, where the CSX train came to a halt. Tom, explain this to us. What happened? How could the train be empty?</s>TOM BOSCO, WNWO REPORTER: Well, they do have a mystery on their hands, Joie. After this 47-car freight train escaped from a Toledo rail yard around 12:30 this afternoon, 66 miles later the train is stopped across a railroad crossing after a Hollywood-style maneuver by CSX officials. The runaway train had no conductor. It was traveling at speeds up to 45 miles an hour. CSX sent another locomotive to chase the runaway train and it coupled itself to the end of that runaway and brought -- and used its own breaks to slow it down. When they got onboard, they did find there was no conductor. That's when a CSX employee jumped into the runaway locomotive and brought it to a stop. Now, no one was injured. CSX says it's still investigating why that train escaped from that Toledo rail yard with no one onboard. The two cars with hazardous materials contained molten phenol acid, and that's something that's used to make everything from plastics to throat spray. But so far, no word on why this train escaped and no word on how it got away with no conductor.</s>CHEN: All right.
