Right place, right time for that catch. The fire smell you mentioned. Was probably hot brake shoes. They have a weird hot metal smell. We could smell the difference riding in a caboose. Between a hot box's hot oil smell and the hot brake's hot metallic smell. Before we got radios. The Conductor would have to "pull the air" to stop the train. So we could walk up inspecting the train. The head brakeman would start walking back. No smoke no sparks, the rear Brakeman and Conductor had to know what the train was doing.

@@MegaSuperfatguy LMFAO that's not what happened at all. When a train goes into emergency, the power on the locomotives cuts off automatically, and the engineer must immediately release the brakes on the locomotives to keep the train from slamming into the locomotives, which has stronger brakes than the cars typically. Since the cars came uncoupled at the locomotives, by releasing the brakes the locomotive will out pace the rest of the train. Y'all just make things up.

Looking for information I understand that trains have a dead man’s switch which will activate emergency brakes if the the engineer doesn’t hit the dead man switch at a pre set interval, and clearly from the video, those cars were braking with full force, but is that because they sensed the decoupling and if so how did they know?
@MrCasanova1980

Its called an alerter. It has to be reset or else it will apply air at a service rate, not emergency rate, stopping the train.. what happened here is different.. trains have a long airline running the length of the train called a brake pipe charged with 90 psi of air.. If it separates because of coupler failure or derailment the brake pipe will rapidly exhaust all of the air. this sends a single to control valves on each car to dump air out of each car's air reservoir tank. this air goes to brake pistons under each car and will apply the engines brakes. engineers must actuate or "bail off" the brakes on the engines, this let's the engines wheels keep rolling on the tracks and not locking up
