HOUSTON — Officials are trying to find out what went wrong after a Union Pacific train started moving Sunday morning with no one at the controls.

The runaway train traveled through downtown Houston on its own for about 15 minutes before crews could get it to stop. 
The train traveled from 902 Washington to the 2000 block of Rothwell, where it stopped just south of Interstate 10 East.  
No one was hurt.
