Re: R-42 Retirement Run

The force the wheels apply to the rails while slowing down determines wear and tear on the el structure. Disabling dynamic braking and using only the friction braking from the brake shoes, reduces that force. Therefore there's less stress on the el, but it also increases the stopping distance.
