It's not uncommon for modern electric locomotives and MUs to not be equipped with resistance braking.Huh? Sure, if you want to slow down you go into generator mode and make the rolling motion of the cars generate electric power that is accepted by some nearby load. So far, so good. But what if electrical connectivity is broken? Then there is no load to receive that generated voltage, and the train doesn't slow down. |
