Train Emergency Brake Activation At 40 MPH

Рет қаралды 310,379

8 жыл бұрын

An eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train that was heading through Plymouth, MN, on the Paynesville Subdivision had its emergency brakes activated due to a disconnected air hose. This is something that you don't see everyday, and can be eerie after. After the engineer stopped and went back to fix the air hose, the train continued on its way.
Skip to 2:00 for the application.

2:02 Classic sign of emergency brakes being applied. That loud whoosh is the sound of the air being dumped which applies the brakes to the train. Train brakes work by reducing air pressure, not increasing. This is because of safety reasons. If the brakes were applied with air pressure, and you couldn’t build up air pressure, then you wouldn’t be able to brake. It’s also important if an air hose is broken or inoperable, like in the case of a knuckle failing. You wouldn’t want for the train to lose its braking in the middle of an emergency and having the load of the train that broke off to continue on without stopping, until inevitably rolling a few miles and hitting someone or something.

I worked as a switchman for almost 10 years back in the late 70 ' s and late 80 ' s . Each car, hopper, tank, gondola, container, engine has their own pressure tank that is pressurized from the engine air compressor pumps . There is a diaphragm in the middle of the tank, with equal pressure on both sides the brakes are released . So, at full pressure and at 0 pressure on both sides, the brakes are released . Once all of them are pressurized the brakes are released and the train can travel . If the engine wants to apply brakes, they slowly release some of the pressure in the air line and it releases pressure on one side of the diaphragm in all the car air tanks . The pressure on the other side of the diaphragm pushes the brake levers on the cars and applies the breaks as the engineer releases the pressure more and more . When the engineer stops releasing pressure, the pumps pressurize the tanks on all the cars to push the diaphragm back to center and the brakes are released . When a hose disconnects or the engineer ' shoots the air ' - ( quick rapid release of air ) then the sudden drop in pressure triggers all the tanks on all the cars to shoot the air in that tank and you have emergency braking . You can hear the individual tanks shooting one after the other down the line . When the engine of a train disconnects from the train and causes the brakes to shoot on all the cars, those cars will only stay pressurized with brakes applied for a few to several hours because the pressure slowly bleeds off . Hand brakes must be applied to those cars on the downhill end . Also, on each car is a bleed lever ( usually in the middle of the car - sometimes on the end ) . When a crew then wants to move those cars, they either have to connect the air hose and apply air pressure, or someone has to walk the entire distance of that train and bleed every tank on every car and remove the hand brakes .

one thing I'm impressed by: as those trains are up to several miles long - that's quite a lot of air in the system - and it takes quite some time for the pressure to equalize to the end after then break valve is operated by the conductor - so the loco and first few cars are already fully breaking while the last car still hasn't applied any breaking force - stresses the breaks of the cars near the loco even more as the whole train is still pushing from behind

It took the train about 40 seconds to stop which is probably very good as it looked like a heavy train. Figure at 40 mph that is one mile. If it was a 2 man crew the conductor usually is the one to walk back to connect the air hose. Probably a low hanging air hose struck some debris on the track causing the air hose to in- couple. Thanks for sharing.

@ErickC 6 жыл бұрын

If it kept going 40 MPH, it would take it 90 seconds to go a mile. Something going 40 MPH will traverse 2,346 feet in 40 seconds. To do a mile in 40 seconds, you'd need to be going 90 MPH. I counted 24 cars from the moment I heard the air to a complete stop... consider a car length 50 feet (when a railroad worker uses a "car" as a unit of measure, they mean 50 feet), and you get 1200 feet. To be conservative, because some of the cars are obviously longer, and some of them are obviously shorter, I rounded that up to 1500 feet... and then further up to about a third of a mile. This would work out to a very conservative overestimate of average car length, specifically, a third of a mile (1760 feet) divided by 24 is about 73 feet. Obviously, the centerbeams are that long, but not anything else on this train. Therefore, the train stopped in less than a third of a mile. EDIT: Actually, we have everything we need to calculate the exact distance; we have the initial speed and the time it took to stop. From these two figures, we conclude it accelerated at -1 MPH/s (-40 MPH in 40 s), yielding a total distance travelled of 1173.33 feet. Hardly a mile... actually less than a quarter mile. Of course... that's just the time it took after we heard the air dumping. Unless what we hear in the video is the specific hoses coming apart (and it may very well be), we don't know how much time that adds. I'd wager from the moment the hoses actually came apart to the moment the train stopped - including the time it took for the air to dump and give us an aural indication of a brake application - it was probably somewhere between a quarter and a third of a mile.

@cdavid8139 6 жыл бұрын

Pretty much accurate info here. Subtle point ... in this day and age cars tend to be longer so the average car is more like 55' to 60'. Obviously if you're running intermodal or autoracks you figure it differently. And if your train is made up of a large number of cement cars you go smaller. PROX 45563 which is in this train is 59' 4" over drawbar. However, even if you do 50' to keep the math simple and "round up" as you did you're pretty close.

@kablammy7 10 ай бұрын

you cannot figure the stopping distance by speed and time - because the speed is slowly decreasing over time . count the car lengths after the brakes shoot - I counted about 25 cars . That is about a quarter of a mile and for mostly empties that sound about right .

@ericl2969 3 жыл бұрын

@@evgenywow Actually, the longer the train, the longer it takes to stop because the longer the train, the longer the delay before air pressure drops throughout the whole system. Longer train = larger volume of air, but the air has to pass through the same size hose so it takes longer for that larger volume to vent. Also, that actually was a quick stop. A train-full of heavily loaded cars tends to slow much more gradually. These brakes are crude, and the fact that wheels aren't skidding with empty cars (in this case, based on all the brake noise instead of "clean" steel-on-steel sound) means that that there COULD be much stronger brake action applied if the cars were heavy (and still avoid wheel skidding), but there's no provision for that. Thus, the heavy train would have less of its potentially useful braking force available for application and it would coast farther. Final example to illustrate that this WAS a short stopping time distance: It's common knowledge that a heavy train can take a mile to stop at moderately high speed on level track, and there are KZfaq videos showing this (approximately, at least). This one took about 40 seconds to stop, starting at 40 mph (according to the poster of the video). That means that even if it had not even slowed down, it would have gone only 0.44 miles during that 40 seconds. The fact that it was slowing down during that whole 40 seconds means that it stopped in far less distance than that. Of course, complicating things is the whole issue of whether this was uphill or downhill, but we don't know the situation there.

America, you really don't do things in half! Haha freight trains In the UK (the most I counted) was only about 20

Really, we do them in doubles. The big railroads like to combine multiple trains

That sounded like a broken knuckle. Either down stream or upstream and out of view.

It was a disconnected air hose. Thankfully, no broken knuckles here.

Wonder what made the train have to do the emergency stop to begin with ?

You know why it went into emergency? Broken knuckle? Broken air hose or what?

How much horsepower to move a train that long?

@MarquisDeSang 7 жыл бұрын

Horsepower is only for showing off, torque get shit done. Power output 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) Tractive effort Starting: 188,000 lbf (840 kN)

@ErickC 6 жыл бұрын

No, horsepower is a derivative of torque; neither determines what a train (or anything else, for the pickup truck fanbois) can pull. Weight multiplied by adhesion is what determines this. Power (and, by extension, torque) only determines how fast you can pull it. CTE is what portion of that overall tractive effort can be developed continuously... it's got more to do with the capabilities of the transmission than anything else. Remember that TE for a constant-power locomotive - as diesels are - decreases with speed. CTE, therefore, is the TE developed at the lowest speed the locomotive can continuously deliver maximum power to the traction motors without destroying itself. It will be higher for AC locomotives than DC locomotives because AC motors can handle the extra punishment of maximum power at lower speeds.
