[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="Bucyrus"]requires that enough brakes be set to prevent the train from rolling, but they don't say how that is to be determined. [/quote] How do you know if you've applied the parking brake in your car with enough force to keep the car from rolling?  What test do you perform to check? I'll answer that...you see if the car rolls after you set it. Why wouldn't the same rule apply to a train?  The engineer knows he has enough handbrakes set because the train doesn't move![/quote] Don, I understand that, but the question that I am asking is about refers to Canadian practice.    Transportation Safety Board of Canada has stated publicly that the push-pull test is unreliable.  Since Rule 112 does not say specifically to use the push-pull test, and because the TSB says that the push-pull test is unreliable; it raises the question of how to comply with rule 112 if the push-pull test is unreliable.
