Passenger Trains > No. 3(29) departing Ft MadisonDate: 01/29/25 16:29 No. 3(29) departing Ft Madison Author: bmarti7 The brake release light on the last occupied coach (2 deadhead Superliners after that) remained yellow as the train departed Ft Madison tonight - brakes not released on that car?

as everything else. They could not be used as proof of a set and release during an air test so were useless. Perhaps they are perfectly maintained now.

If the hoghead notices, or cares, a call back to the train crew to pop the handbrake release lever completely will usually clear it up. Had that occur many times.
