I saw a real bad case sometime in '03 on CPRail's Mactier sub. at the Ypres siding. An empty flat car had to have all 4 axles replaced. My guess is, the brakes never realeased at departure. Which means it slid along for the 25 miles or so from Toronto, north to Ypres. The repair took place on the north leg of the "Y" that leads into a hydro sub-station. (The south leg was removed a few years ago. Something to do with land ownership.)
