    It still amazes me that the automatic air brake system used in the US and throughout most of the world does not seem to be in any way failsafe; one blockage in a brake pipe or bleeding of air pressure and you're left with no brakes at all. Contrast this with the UK's older vacuum brake system, which required a continuous vacuum to be applied throughout the train to keep the brakes off, making it almost absolutely failsafe since any leakage of air would destroy the vacuum and apply the brakes. True, it was far from a perfect system; the need to keep the vacuum constant cost power, be it steam pressure in the case of steam locomotives or energy from diesel engines, the length of trains may also be limited by a single loco's ability to maintain a vacuum, and by and large it was primarily passenger vehicles that were vacuum fitted, plus anyone who's read the original Thomas the Tank Engine books can tell you what a pain it can be when a vacuum pipe is damaged. Still, the idea persists that had American freight trains been fitted with a system like vacuum brakes, that are designed to truly fail safe should anything go wrong, this wreck and many others like it likely never would have happened.
