Hi all-
I'm working on a magazine story about a new brake technology for freight trains (ECP), and as part of the story I'd like to see what braking with today's equipment is like. To that end, I'm hoping to spend some time in a locomotive cab in territory where the engineer has to think a lot about braking, including dynamic braking. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm looking for a stretch of mainline either not far from NYC, in upstate New York, or not far from northwest Maryland. Once I figure out where to do this, I'll approach the media office of the railroad(s) in question.
Feel free to email me off-line if you'd prefer ([email protected]), and thanks for your help.
Best,
Robb Mandelbaum
