Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear
Irrelevant. We know that with the brakes applied traction power cannot be obtained. Does this mean that any brake application automatically cuts traction power? It's typical in North America to "power brake". In power braking, the throttle is left in notch two or three, the independent brake in full release while the train is brought to a stand with the train brake working against the throttle. Is this not possible in the UK? -- Cheers Roger T. Home of the Great Eastern Railway http://www.highspeedplus.com/~rogertra/ |
