<p>[quote user="zugmann"]</p> <p>[quote user="Bucyrus"]</p> <p></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I think it is too risky to rely on one man performing a complex hand brake procedure when a failure to get it right can destroy much of a town. It is too risky to leave an oil train there even if the engineer could be relied on to set sufficient hand brakes every time.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"> </span></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>...<em>complex</em>...?</p> <p><br />Seriously?</p> <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Apply this many hand brakes, but maybe more, apply so tight, check and see if the train can be moved, if it moves, apply some more, consider the grade, consider the train weight, apply brakes to the locomotives. Complex.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">When I park my truck, I just move the lever to the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">PARK</span> position. I don't have to go out and wind up 30 handbrakes, and then come back and see if I can move the truck or not. Not complex.</span> </p>
