[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Lotus098</i> <br /><br />So do railroads have any problem now-a days with flat spots on wheels when the emergency brake is applied? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />yes. any empty car has a tendency to slide its wheels when an emgerency application occurs on a moving trian. empty grain trains and empty coal trains and empty bare table trains are very bad at sliding wheels. there are sincsors on cars the help prevent the sliding of wheels, but these sinsors are relatively new and not on older cars.
