<p>[quote user="LithoniaOperator"]Whatever brake application he made (or not) seems pretty academic at this point, to me.[/quote]</p> <p>I think you are right. Whatever the engineer would have done, it was too late.</p> <p>On the other hand it would interest me if there are differing brake handling rules for the Cascade Talgo trains. The talgo trucks have two hydralic brake disks on each wheel and almost no slack so they are very different compared to standard passenger cars.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
