Check out the Of brake stands and piping thread - got a bit deeper into it over there. And I explain what I meant by "what you pull" ... I s'pose the problem is that folks don't remember "lapping" nor a world without dynamics where from the moment you applied service, you got AIR and shoes on the wheels, and they were STEEL shoes and it's absolutely TRUE as any OTHER old-timer can tell you - what you pulled is WHAT you got. As opposed to dynamic braking deciding what you got, if anything at all.There's a REASON why we had "shunting" ... it was all good, and it was all SAFE. ***UNTIL*** they screwed with the brakes. Then WillieB and other bad things happened which slowed the railroad down to bicycle speed. Wasn't LIKE that in MY time. :( |
