		When the train has slowed or the problem does not arise, then the train brakes are released and the train continues on, with the throttle still set.
		Trains on the other hand are designed with a maximum brake force that is below the force necessary to lock the wheels of an unloaded train.
		This can also occur in hills where the train is stretched pulling the loads up over the crest then the loads start downhill and run in on the empties which are held back by the front portion of the train going up the next hill.

		This train had a little extra interest because the rider car was not carrying the markers until the train reached Amarillo.

	Prologue - The Fast Mail
		In part as a response to criticism from businesses and the public that the mails, then moving by horse and stagecoach, were too slow, the postmaster general in the early 1830s decided to put the mails on trains.
		Until then, mail was distributed to larger post offices, and the only mail sent to rail cars for handling was that which was intended for delivery at local points along the various lines.
		The effect of the fast mails on the overall mail distribution system was to reduce the time in transit and promote efficiency of service, because the fast mail made connections at all important junctions serviced by the regular trains from throughout the country.

		Night Mail is a 1936 documentary film about a London, Midland and Scottish Railway Anglo-Scottish mail train, produced by the GPO Film Unit.
		As recited in the film, the poem's rhythm imitates that of the train's wheels as they clatter over the track sections, beginning slowly but picking up speed so that by the time the narration reaches the penultimate verse the narrator is speaking at a breathless pace.
		As the train slows toward its destination the final verse is taken at a more sedate pace.
