EBV question

Hello all,

For a story I'm writing, I have a question about the emergency brake valve system, or EBV. Is there a situation in which a passenger could pull the emergency cord and cause the train to stop in the middle of a tunnel? I understand that couldn't happen on any of the newer trains, but would it be possible on one of the older ones?

Also, would there be any reason the train would then have to be evacuated, e.g., to reset the EBV?

My understanding is that in some of the older cars, like the R32s or R42s, the emergency cord was directly connected to the EBV system. Is this correct?

This information is very difficult for a layman to find. My great thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

WD
