Thanks TD.I was a documentary on History channel and it showed an engineer of a 100 freight car train who ran dedicated dynamics on a downhill to save brake wear. But even then with the weight of the train air brakes are kicked in once the train hits dangerous speeds in which loss of control will happen. |
