But on commuter trains which are heavier and run at higher speeds, their "slip slide" braking systems sometimes are ineffective in preventing not only of stopping on the mark but having the whole train slide thu the station. I rode the Hudson line for almost 26 years and on several occasions the train would overshoot the station, especially s/b at Cold Spring where the train had to slow down from about 90 (then) MPH. Then you would hear the flat spots that would keep you awake! |
