This is a video taken at the scene of a derailment in Croatia. You can see the passenger train lying on the side of the track. When a maintenance train arrives to help, it lost it's brakes on the hill and also crashed! The cause for both accidents was weed killer sprayed on the track. No one was in the runaway MOW train (the crew jumped when the realized they had no brakes), but sadly, 6 people lost their lives in the passenger train...

That is crazy for any train to runaway after losing its brakes like the ones that happened on the BNSF Cajon pass which involved a few freight trains that lost their brakes in the early 90's and the fact that section of the railroad is so steep, it is almost no wonder why the engineer of the locomotives try to slow the train down which results in a derailed train,fire,injuries or worse!
