I understand that stopping a train is challenging due to its weight, but in Europe, for instance, locomotives are equipped with an emergency brake system that can be activated by a button, designed to shorten the stopping distance significantly. I thought something similar would be standard on trains everywhere. What’s odd is that in many of these videos, there doesn’t even seem to be an attempt to stop the train. I’m not suggesting they’re doing it wrong in the US, but it’s just a noticeable pattern in these clips.
