Most class 1 railroads were completely dieselized in the late 50's, but there were some exceptions on some properties where steam survived into the 60s, working quarries and gravel pits, etc. Some military bases still employed steam into the 60s as well.
Did the runaway train manage to escape by covering its tracks?
There are less than 50 steam trains still running in the U.S., mainly tourist attractions. Then about 20,000 Diesel engines (first introduced in 1940); only about 100 electric trains. Europe uses mainly electric, very few diesel.Trying to pinpoint the very last time that a steam engine train made a commercial/industrial revenue run with which exact R/R = someone witnessing/substantiating that had to make it an event worth notoriety via some media form, documentation, whatever. When was the last Model T used as a daily vehicle, when was the last treadle sewing machine used in a factory setting, when was the manual typewriter last actually used to conduct business. ? All are still around and used. No one set up fanfare for that 'tool' when it went out of general operation.

Yes, this is all very interesting I'm sure! But nobody has yet really answered the question - and I'd rather like to know the answer myself. So, when was the last occasion that a steam locomotive hauled a normal revenue earning train on a US railroad (not an enthusiast/tourist special)? Also, when was the last one in industrial use?
