Increase Freight Brake Use to Cut Train Accidents
Washington August 14 The Interstate Commerce Commission plans to require railroads in interstate service to raise the minimum brake percentage on freight trains beyond the legal six percent currently required. The move follows accidents caused by the lack of air brakes on rear cars, leading to dangerous “huckling” when emergency stops are applied. The commission hopes higher brake usage will prevent such incidents and may push toward universal air brake installation on all freight cars.
