FTA: the crew was not alerted until the wheel bearing had reached the critical heat of 253 degrees above ambient temperature, the report said.
The report doesn't say what the crew did at that point, but apparently they didn't consider stopping the train. Sounds like negligence at best, though I read one article that said the crew reported the problem and were told to keep going, which implies criminal negligence.
