Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear
"James Robinson" wrote in message ... "Roger T." wrote: Nope, "power braking: is common, even on passenger trains. The locomotives used on VIA Rail Canada's transcontinental passenger train are set up like the HST. i.e., if the air brakes are applied, the power is automatically shut off. That means the drivers cannot power brake. Other passenger locomotives will allow power braking, but it is discouraged. Didn't know about the newer VIA locos. -- Cheers Roger T.
