“even with the brakes on all the cars in emergency”

Would better brakes have been a good thing here?

Well, you can only stop something so fast. Just like your car, the weight of the car causes you to not be able to stop all that quickly. The more weight, the longer it takes to stop. So, the brakes go into emergency and the air pressure into the brake system and the brakes start rubbing on the wheels. It would be worse of the brakes locked up the wheels because then it would slide or skid just like a car does.

ECP has not shown without a shadow of doubt that they could prevent derailments. Plenty of independent test reached inconclusive. Because of that, Trump rescinded the reg due to a high cost, low benefit the ECPs yield.
