Dynamic braking on a push-pull passenger consist isn't favored by passengers because the cars tend to jostle each other a lot. Friction braking produces smoother deceleration for passenger comfort.You conflicted yourself in that statement. Since passengers don't actually ride in the locomotive, they don't experience dynamic braking and thus can't favor anything. They ONLY ride in the cars and since in a push-pull have traction motors, they only run on friction braking. |
