  1. I think I see a trend with liberals assuming shit. So what you're saying is ______
  2. It's just biased crap acting as if their bias is the superior way of thinking. When someone takes that much liberty It's usually BS.
  3. As near as I can tell ECP brakes have both and electric and mechanical signal to the piston that engages the brakes. Typically an air brake has a lazy response. Trains being very long I would imagine have significant delays from one end to the other when you rely on an air signal only. But with the regulations only applying to Hazmat cars it almost seems irrelevant. If any car that isn't hazmat derails it takes the rest with. The systems seem very simple and don't appear to have any independent control for individual cars yet alone axels or wheels. I haven't been able to identify any type of automatic slack adjuster to account for wear at individual wheels.
  4. The article is clearly bias and actually misleading. They assign a Christian motive but it only says creator. Makes me question the whole article. Not accurate with the facts. Draws conclusions.
  5. Makes you wonder what the story is behind it. My guess is it was a promise to a donor.
  6. Nothing would be more hopeless than being an Idiana fan.
  7. That's my point. This sport hasn't been highly competitive for decades, if ever.
  8. Swiderski is blowing my mind, I was so impressed with ISU at the beginning of the year, I was excited about their future. We need a few more competitive teams. Has there ever been a time in wrestling where we had more than 5 active coaches with a championship under their belt?
  9. If being undefeated in mma is the Std then Sambo is the only answer.
  10. I real thought the guys who didn't use their red shirts and got f'ed by covid should have been given another year.
  11. Individuals either beat out or from loses. From their highest to lowest any ranking.
  12. Who has dropped the most in the polls since the beginning of the season?
  13. So is the guy whose name is on the mrna patent and pioneered the research a real expert?
  14. The only issue with braking would be if was traveling to fast and couldn't slow down in time. My guess is these train do very little braking. They know how fast they need to be going for the constitution ahead and decelerate by reducing power well ahead.
  15. You still haven't answered for a wheel bearing failure. I don't know if I'd agree that you stop faster either.
  16. Heat from the brakes will not get into the bearing. The braking system wouldn't reduce braking heat. It would take a mechanical failure to get enough excess heat to damage a wheel bearing. Having electrical control wouldn't stop a mechanical failure. And guess what smart ass, I do have certification in this area and I have direct air brake experience. I also know about the shitty electric controls for air brake systems. The only way to get enough heat is if the brake is dragging when in the released position. The electronics couldn't release a dragging brake. Most wheel bearings fail because wheel seal failures.
  17. It was regulation requiring a type of brake, but it had a wheel bearing failure. The train acts as a unit. Having electronics on the brakes wouldn't have any effect on a wheel bearing. It's actually an incredibly stupid assertion.
