Right, and that's why I'm not suggesting MN or any other heavy rail operation actually sets up brakes that can push the friction to the limit. I think it would be worthwhile for the industry to do this type of testing, however, if it hasn't already been done, to understand how to make better brakes that last longer, what materials are best for brakes, etc, etc. |
