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

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.

“That’s not what I said, and you know it.”

Yes it is Mr. I’m smarter than you.

You say you’ve been a railroad design engineer for 40 years and you still don’t know you don’t throw the full brake on in a turn?
