Hadn't heard that. An undesired release tends to be a bad thing.

I've also heard stories claiming undesired releases with modern retainers in use, claimed to be caused by brake cylinder pressure changes due to brake rigging chatter. Guess it doesn't matter much anymore since there are few engineers that even know how to run with retainers. There are very few out there that have any idea how brakes work nowadays. I don't know what is more dangerous, those who know nothing and those who "think" they know.

If you can't control the brake pipe - it must be the distributing valve :-)
