I wonder if it simply was someone who pulled the emergency break either in a panic or just simply wanting to stop the train. An emergency brake activation could have been caused by a pulled cord, but what caused a delay of way more than an hour to move the train? I wonder what the procedure is when a train goes BIE? Is it up to the crew to determine whether there was a pulled cord, debris on the tracks, going through a red signal and getting tripped, etc. Or is supervision required to verify what happened? Also, how easy is it restore normal brake line pressure and move the train after the cause has been determined? Supposing the train in front of the Q was 211 B. Could a hiccup in the 211's operating system cause BIE? If something like that happened and the hiccups continued, is there anyway to dumb down the operating system (like HAL in 2001) and brute force the train back into an obedient state? |
