- 7speter 2y agoTrains have brakes, too. And horses... well, I guess we can handle cholera these days.
- nanomonkey 2y agoI believe most modern trains use regenerative braking for the majority of their deceleration. At least the hybrid and electric ones.
- mrguyorama 2y agoThe vast majority of braking done by trains is electrical, ie "regenerative" except lots of trains just burn the generated power in a grid of resistors and dump the heat. If every mile human beings moved in cars was replaced with two miles taken by train, the world would be a less polluted place.
