Posted by Jace on Mon Dec 2 14:31:19 2013, in response to Re: PHOTOS: MNR Derailment, posted by Avid Reader on Mon Dec 2 10:30:28 2013. What difference would push vs. pull make? In Chatsworth the arguement was/is putting a locomotive up front will help protect passengers in the event of a collision (do we therefore need a locomotive on every MU or subway train?). That wasn't the case here where the thought seems to be that the locomotive somehow kept pushing the cars further towards the drink after the intial derailment. Train was in emergency, throttle cut off, locomotive was just another car at that point. Ignoring this and instead following the 'logic' of this out of control locomotive, putting it on the head end is no better: the train surely was have gone into the river. At least then the train wouldn't have jack-knifed... |
