Caught an article on Trains. Com about a Canadian Pacific freight stalling on a grade in Iowa , then sliding back down the grade toward a diamond holding a BNSF freight .
Number of dramatic quotes via radio by the crew but my question is ::
Crew said they were ‘sliding back to the yard whether they like it or not ,in ‘emergency but gaining speed’ .
In the end stopped just 20 feet from the diamond .
What would they be trying to do by ‘putting into emergency ‘?
