Just an update to this thread.
According to an anonymous source taking part in the investigation after the fatal accident with runaway cars in Oslo, quoted by the Norwegian TV channel TV2, the investigation team from the transportation safety board seems to be leaning towards exonerating the people who worked at Alnabru yard the day the accident happened, and instead blaming the railroad company for insufficient maintenance of equipment and inadequate procedures.
The source is quoted as saying : "the accident would have happened no matter who was on duty that day - it is related to systems and routines, not to personal errors by any of the operators working there that day".
I don't know when the formal report will be forthcoming, but I fully intend to read it as soon as it is published.
