If those are straight aired cars fully charged through the consist to the rear car, they would stop in a breakwaway, full emergency or normal station stop without electric brakes (I don't know what gauge readings are on the R44s, just what is on the diesel. The storm emergency trains they put together on the 5 or S trains in the Rockaways run a diesel on each end with 4 to 5 cars. I wouldn't do that under FRA either without electric brakes but they adapted to becoming another subway just fine as they don't give a shit about those things anymore apparently |
