So by your standards, if there is a misspelled word in the encyclopedia that makes everything in the encyclopedia wrong.

Great logic you got there.

So much for your opinion.

Throwing the brake(there are you happy now) on at 50 in a turn the inertia could possibly have caused the train to flip.

Offended much today? That's not what I said, and you know it.

As far as your comment that throwing the brake (and thank you for correcting your spelling) at 50 MPH in a turn could possibly cause the train to flip, did you mean at 100+ MPH? At that speed, yes. At 50 MPH, absolutely no. I'm a railroad design engineer with 40 years in the industry, so I understand velocity, momentum, superelevation, balance and overturning velocities in curves, and all other manner of things relevant to the conversation.
