Yes, normal streetcar motorman training on conventional streetcars includes: If you need to stop and the brakes have failed shut off power, throw the reverse key into reverse, and apply one point of power. (On a four motored car you DON'T have to apply the one point of power, but who in an emergency is going to stop to think whether he/she is running a four-motor or two-motor streetcar?) That is why sometime ago when I saw an article on the AT&SF diesel looking like it was about to fly over the highway boardering the bumping posts at LA Union, I wondered, why didn't the engineer try to reverse the locomotive? (Maybe not possible with today's microprocessor controls, but back then? Any ideas?
