Runaway cars smash into harbor terminal in Oslo, 3 killed
#13
what kind of brakes do these cars have??

I worked for the SRA in NSW (government railways) and uncoupling a cars airlines automatically put the brakes on full bore

we dont have these `hump yards' either- for a carriage to move it has to be coupled to a diesel shunter

seems to me that any system that gives a carriage a shove and lets it roll till it bangs into something is bound by its nature to go horribly wrong sooner or later.....

:-(

(all shunting done now has the loco with a horn blast that its moving the carriage and the loco itself has one of those annoying `beep beep' style beepers whenever its in motion)
