Emergency Application of the Brakes

Before signing up I watched the crew that brought our train down perform a few switching moves. They started pulling across Broadway when suddenly....

Sorry I cut the camera off so quick, but not having a radio on me I wasn't sure what was going on so I instictively walked towards to front to see what the engineer may have hit. Exactly what happened is still a mystery to me but a few minutes later they were moving again just fine.

Quite a sound to hear the air dump, the video just doesn't do it justice. Almost always when you hear that sound on the road it means something's gone wrong....
