Default Train wreck . . .

www.tornado1.wmv

Amazing video! Only a RR person would appreciate this; but the final scene was of the broken-off
rear part of the train which continued down the track to collide with the front half. Normally,
when a train breaks in two like that one, automatic air brakes are applied to both portions.
Theoretically, both halves should come to full "emergency stop" to prevent a reconnect disaster like
that one.
