Track brakes can be brutal on rail heads.Track brakes are emergency brakes. Their benefit is half the stopping distance over the anemic emergency braking NYCT currently uses. Were they installed on all equipment after their introduction on the Bluebirds, most subsequent rear end collisions would have been prevented. So too, would many deaths caused by trains running over people on the tracks. |
