<br /> <br /> Dear Readers, <br /> <br /> <br /> A few years back a Unit Coal Train with Remote Slave Locomotives on the Bugaboo Subdivision was pulling up the Main at Siding for a Meet on Empties who were to Head In. <br /> <br /> The Loads had a UDE ( Undesired Emergency ) Brake Application. <br /> <br /> Could not recover Air, so assumed Train had broken Apart. <br /> <br /> The Meet going down Siding saw where break was, and Changed Knuckle from his Unit and Backed Loads to Joint and Cut In Air, then Pulled down Siding and lined himself out on Switch, leaving it Lined for Siding as no Caboose. <br /> <br /> Loads had had trouble with FRED and was Operating without him. <br /> <br /> Recovered Air behind Slaves and Pulled Out North. <br /> <br /> Etys got to Objective Terminal, and another Loads Pulled Out on his Arrival. <br /> <br /> First Loads goes by Talking Scanner and is 120 or so Axles Short on Count. <br /> <br /> Second Loads just Arriving at Red Switch at Siding and had to Stop to Restore Same to Normal to go up Main. <br /> <br /> He hears Strange Axle Count on Loads ahead at same time as he Spots Cars on Main ahead in Headlight. <br /> <br /> Having just restarted from Lining Switch Got Stopped in time. <br /> <br /> First Loads had pulled apart in TWO places, and Air Flow from Slaves let Brakes Release despite Angle **** Open. <br /> <br /> Track Speed Fifty. <br /> <br />
