six seconds, at five seconds the brake pressure dropped to zero. in layman s terms, what does that tell us? what does that tell you? that says six seconds before the engine came to a stop, but when it came to a stop, it had derailed. you know, it laid over partly on its side. six seconds to come into a stop, the throttle had been at some power setting. so it was only six seconds before everything came to a stop that the throttle went to idle. this was late in the game. very late in the game. and at 82 miles an hour, that train was going too fast even for the zone leading up to that curve. the zone leading up to the curve was a 70 mile an hour zone, and yes, it was in excess of that speed. i guess the question is why, then, was the train going so fast? that s the question we need to answer. at this point, as i said, this
the brake pressure went to zero five seconds prior to the stop to the complete stop of the locomotive. the brakes are held off by pressure. so at 120psi, the brakes are held off. when the pressure diminishes, particularly when it goes to zero, full braking application happens. occurred before the train derailed or after? don t know that at this point. the mechanics of this, can you explain how it works? was the engine at the back and the engineer might be at the front of the train? how does the operate the train. last question. how does he operate the train in a pusher configuration? the engineer is in a cab car up front. okay. is there a are there les that run back or how does it work? they re there s controls that run back because all the power is at the locomotive.

emergency call. what kind of car are you? n? i heard a toyota. what color is it? blue. blue? eric: well, they did eventually bring the car to a stop after a california highway patrol car pulled along him and then went right in front of him. according to mr. skies he tried applying brake pressure at very high speeds but the
are sk ral paccelerating. this has been going on since 1957 and the chrysler product, so there are cars all along that have had problems. put the car in neutral is the first thing you can do. if for some reason you can t get it into neutral or you have it into neutral and the car is still accelerating because of an electrical problem, the next thing to do is to stand on the brakes. just like this gentleman did. both feet. put everything you ve got. he s a bigger guy, if you are smaller or lighter, you may not have the same brake pressure. the next thing you do is literally boil your brake fluid and the brakes will no longer function properly. using the car brake may slow the car down. not everyone has the lever-type brake. the final thing if you have a push-button start, push the button and hold it for five seconds, that s just enough to shut the car down, again, that s in your owner s manual. and finally, if you have a key switch, turn it to the accessory
