Dynamic Brakes, Chris???

I'd love to see that on a steam locomotive.

If 844 had dynamic brakes, they did a bang up job when they removed them as there were absolutely no remnants of them in the cab of 844 when I fired it.

Maybe they were "Stealth Dynamic Brakes" manufactured by a mysterious company located in Area 51 near the UP station of Las Vegas...

One never knows....

Rick
