[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mersenne6 I don't know about not being able to get going but you can flatten the wheels with an emergency stop to the point where the ride is extremely rough. In his book No Royal Road, Custer recounts his wild stop at Greensburg, Pa. where he slammed on the brakes for the entire passenger train. "Most of the wheels were flattened, and the rest of the run was like running over a corduroy road." [/quote] THAT was the part of the story that got my attention, the flat spots allegedly immobilizing the engine. I can see the flat spots making it "inadvisable" to drive the train out, but the claim that it resultingly was UNABLE to gain traction seems like a pantload.
