A car with no air has no brakes.A pipe reduction reconfigures the brake valves on each car, and the air pressure in the car's air tank will apply the brakes. If there is no air in the car tank (I cannot spell resivour and spell check is not helping me) then that car has no brakes. This is why you set hand brakes when you park a train. I think all hasmat and pax trains should have track brakes activated hydraulically for emergency use only. Without a song and dance, I *know* you can figure out how to do this if you wanted to. ROAR |
