I assumed that the train could just slow down a very little bit till it touches with the car to then slow down when they touch each other but that’s probably not how it works.

That sounds kind of dangerous … i know that the train and all the waggons have springs to dampen connection impact but … not sure how much those can take or how much the difference in speed/force of both sides can be without one pushing the other (in the worst case of the rails)
I am no means a train expert but that doesn’t sound that dangerous, only the relative speed matters and if it was a very small difference the wagons will eventually catch up and the impact might be noticeable but not fatal. But ig the emergency brakes would be a safer option either way.
oh god … hopefully that front car was able to keep the distance and just outpace the rear cars until the friction slowed them down enough.
Well, given they’re electric I would assume they’re both set to the same speed. This does not look safe though
i dont think the waggons get accelerated … but i might very well be wrong. i am by no means an expert on this subject matter.
I’m also no expert, but I know diesel-electric trains typically power each axle so assume it’s the same
You mean train

It probably is very dangerous, yeah
