Railroads use what is called distributive power. Say you have a set up of 2 + 2. Two locomotives on the head end, consist A, and two locomotives on the rear, consist B. These two consists are linked, through something like Bluetooth, for a lack of better explanation. Once these consists are linked then whatever consist A does consist B does. However, if an engineer "splits the screens", meaning he/she controls these two consists independent of each other but they're still linked via "Bluetooth", then an occurrence such as stall burns can occur. One set of locomotives was not shut down when the train came to a complete stop. The wheels just kept spinning and ground their way down into the rail. You can see farther downs the track six more divots from the other truck. In this case there may have only been one locomotive pushing.

I guess I posted at the same time the logical explanation was posted ahead on me. The app I'm using didn't show that at the time, and it was brought to my attention by another member.

Thanks for the details... it's amazing what physics and dynamics can do.

Here is what can happen when a freight car wheel stops turning while the train does not.

I don't understand how any person can mentally-accept a remote-controlling of their transportation vehicle which has been fully purchased.
Much less a 'driver-less' (at freeway speeds mind you) containing their entire family.
To give over all personal control to a vulnerable network.
This vulnerability has been present since inception.
[parf comment: It doesn't make sense. Mass suicide can be better utilized by a national structure.]
To give up. Accept anything and everything. My will is not my own anymore. It is yours mentality.

vs.

Trains that do burnouts down to the bearings.
Trains that actually crash into each other.
WTF.
No seriously, WTF.

2017 is today's date.
Gigaprocessing is so yesterday.
