That would be correct and if the engineer had just acknowledged the alerter and then became incapacitated by some sort of projectile through the vision glass, that could explain why the brakes did not apply right away. It is known that the train brakes did apply in emergency immediately prior to the derailment so an unfortunate combination of events could have made for the perfect storm. |
