This week, a 112 ton freight car collided with an MBTA commuter train in Canton, injuring 150 people.

The incredible crash occurred approximately 5 minutes after a Stoughton lumber yard employee alerted police that a "runaway" freight car was rumbling down the commuter rail tracks.

According to published reports, investigators are still trying to determine why a "derailing" device failed to stop the car. Although many people received minor injuries, there were reports of broken bones and other more serious injuries.
