Indeed it did, for a full mile and a half - with nobody at the controls.
No one was hurt, but the train partially derailed and pulled down some of its overhead power lines before coming to a stop.
It rolled through three stations and several street intersections before coming to a stop at the corner of Del Paso Boulevard and Arden Way.
Lonergan said the train came to a stop after it pulled down the wires and lost power.
Just another reason why, no matter how edgy and cool it seems to the planner set, running trains down streets is a stupid idea. RT got lucky.
