That's fine, but it has little to do with the original point, which is that DRN was flat out wrong about the physics behind braking, and what is theoretically possible/ possible at Pueblo. I'm not so concerned with whether it would work in the real world, because I don't believe in extreme emergency stops and designing trains to crash into each other. Lose the grade crossings, make everything full PTC, and then you will have a safer system anyway. |
