    Fair enough, car trailers do have garbage braking most of the time anyway. I may be biased because locomotives are so heavy and the traction you get with steel is shit so they actually benefit from some load behind…

        Freight train driver. I don’t tailgate, I like to leave plenty of distance in front of my car.

          I meant tailgaiting with your train ;-)
          (but yes, I am aware of the systems that prevent that, heard some interesting talks about the topic and seen demonstrations in our local railway museum)
