I guess what I don't understand is what scenario would leave a train with brake failure and no way to stop? If air pressure was lost, then the brakes should engage. Even if there was a failure on the locomotive's dynamic brake, the emergency brakes should still activate brake shoes. And what scenario would result in a loss of ALL of the brake shoes? I'm genuinely asking the question. I can't see a situation where the engineer shouldn't have been able to stop the train. |
