@jamesmckenzie3532 14 күн бұрын

the F.R.E.D. indicates a loss of air pressure when something like that happens. The engineer stops the train.

@paulw.woodring7304 14 күн бұрын

The crew on the head end knows something is wrong when the air goes down in emergency. The conductor has to walk the train to figure out what is wrong; after they make an emergency transmission to any opposing trains in case their train derailed and is fouling the other main; they call the dispatcher to let them know they are in emergency and where and get any protection needed to inspect the train. This crew got off "easy". For some reason the train just separated between those two covered hoppers. Could have been a weak coupler pin that got bounced at just the wrong time? Could have been a high/low coupling between the cars that slipped out and separated? Sometimes you never figure it out for sure. Anyway, all they had to do was re-couple, do an air test and resume their trip, after I'm assuming, the conductor inspected the rest of the train to make sure that was the only problem.
