i presume at least one of the engines was able to be relit to provide hep? if so, which one. if the engine was running, i guess it was not enough power to run the train alone?
they need to seriously thing about axing the California Zephyr. it couldnt be on time if it was the only train on the track for a thousand miles and traveling at 250mph. gets kinda old having a train 4-9hrs late EACH and EVERY day. people miss their connections and cause a headache with amtrak. i mean yesterday it was "on-time" at just 3hrs late. which is early for it lol
Heavy brake usage. Whatever car with flatspots were involved in some high speed Emergency brake lock up episode. Slide locked up wheels along rails for about a half mile or so and you get a nicely grounded spot in the wheel which in turn produces the all so known 'thump thump thump thump' sound you hear in all things railroad car.
Don't mess with the bird

Um...Where did the flat spots come from?

I'd imagine the engineer dumped the air when the locomotives shut down, or the locomotives did it by themselves.
