I understand that that's the conventional wisdom and that I am almost certainly wrong here.
I thought train emergency brakes were capable of fully locking the wheels (to the point where they get significantly damaged/deformed after an emergency stop), so why would the braking pad heat dispersion matter?
- londons_explore 4y agoFreight trains typically don't have the ability to lock the wheels, even in an emergency.
