What makes these worse is knowing there are more advanced brake systems that are mandated in Europe but we don’t have them here bc of regulatory capture
How would they have helped?
I'm genuinely asking. Brakes are mechanically a solved problem basically. Is it a maintenance thing?
Electronic controls basically

The wiki article says it's about signaling, that I understand, is that what was meant by advanced brake systems? I'm far from a train nerd
Yeah there’s that system that I believe automatically slows trains down if they’re exceeding the safe speed of the track and then there’s the electronic braking which applies all the brakes at the same time
