I have heard rumors that the Bombardier ALSTOM consortium electric units (AMTRAK Acela unit) have no protection from the Angle **** accedentaly opening. The GG1 wreck in DC in the 50s, according to an interview with the fireman on that run, was caused by the angle **** opening, thus having the brake pads wear down by the time they would need them. What truth is in this? Should we expect this to happen in the future of the Acela? Who knows?
