Kind of meant that if the air connection between the loco and railcars could be cut (or damaged) in a way to leak out the air in the brake lines. The air brakes rely on built-up air pressure to remain "open" - correct? Even if the locomotive's automatic safety features did not detect an air leak, could the brakes of the train be enough to stop a runaway?
