Re: MOTORMAN

First of all, I was never a motorman or train operator. That disclaimer aside, while not common, runaway compressors are neither dangerous or difficult to deal with. First, you need to understand that there are belt driven and direct drive compressors. There are numerous reasons they might run away but the easiest way to deal with it is to turn off the compressor switch or circuit breaker in the cab. Prudence would cause one to use a shoe paddle rather than a bare hand, however.
