<p>The requirements for the brakes are clearly defined in the specification. The Charger got finally accepted by the buyers so I think the brakes, dynamic and air, comply.</p> <p>The Charger was relatively new to the engineer. He hadn't run it at the new track speed and never encountered the 30 mph curve before, braking down from 79 mph.</p> <p>Perhaps the brakes reacted different than on the locomotives he ran before?</p> <p>On the other hand, the interview was 4 weeks after the accident. The NTSB will look into this I think.<br />Regards, Volker<br /><br /></p>
