<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I thought there were at least a couple of engineers who insisted that shutting down the engine could not have caused a brake release. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So it sounds like the trainline was at a reduced pressure to have set the brakes; they shut down the engine; a little leakage from one or more car reservoirs leaked into the trainline; and slightly raised its pressre; that triggerd a full release of all car brakes, and away went the train. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">What about the independent brakes? Would the full release of the train brakes also release the independent brakes? </span></p>
