Posted by husky51 on 11.26.2010, 05:18 PM: hahaha, as a former bus driver and bus mechanic, I can relate to this... lol Having to go on breakdown roadcalls, etc. You never know just what you'll find until you get there...

Posted by husky51 on 11.27.2010, 03:30 AM: That is what I meant, actually. When the air brake system drops below 60 psi (normally between 110-120psi), the rear brakes go into emergency mode, so to speak and the rear brakes lock up, literally. The only way to release them is to resupply the air to back up over 60 psi again, either from an independent air supply such as a big rig tow truck or by restarting the engine and building up the air again.

Posted by Mush on 11.27.2010, 04:37 AM: Oh, wow, this reminds me so much of two days ago when I was designing brakes. Yeah, when they fail, they're designed to fail "on", since it's usually better to have the brakes stuck on than to not be able to use them at all...

Posted by husky51 on 11.27.2010, 11:38 AM: It looked like an inner city bus and from the camera in the cockpit of the train, it looked like they had the time thing under control. BTW, lightly (more or less ( ) bumping the other vehicle like that wouldn't usually cause any probs... The bumpres are mounted directly to the frame rails and there is a lot of strength there. |
Posted by fenkashi on 11.27.2010, 05:54 PM: Haha Husky's right. It was just out of downtown and the only real problem was that the trains were put on hold.
|
Posted by Mush on 11.28.2010, 12:21 AM: Oh, that's funny. I'm always surprised when I go somewhere else and get on a train that does have a driver.
|
Posted by husky51 on 11.28.2010, 04:31 AM: Trains without drivers.... eh! lol
|
Posted by fenkashi on 11.28.2010, 08:05 AM: Oh no, no drivers in Vancouver. Calgary trains definitely have drivers. My friend was telling me how she was on the skytrain and it was really freaky because you can sit right at the front with the window looking out.

Posted by Mush on 11.28.2010, 04:52 PM: I think they're mostly computer-controlled, but I'm sure there are humans in a control center somewhere ready to take over if something goes wrong.

Posted by fenkashi on 12.04.2010, 10:52 PM: I wonder if the world will go out with a bang or a whimper.
