I mean... I am a lover of hyperbole but even I find this a little exaggerated. It's hitting the brakes the same as it always has tbh.
Possibly teaching you to suck eggs, but might be worth mentioning for
@ATI's sake.
It's worth pointing out that with magnetic brakes overshooting the brake run is much (
much) more unlikely than with friction brakes. A friction brake can only grab so hard, so if the train hits the brake run faster it can 'overshoot'. With a magnetic brake, the amount of braking force is proportional to the speed of the train, so if the train enters the brake run faster, it slows down more quickly. There is a limit to this, but it's pretty unlikely with these sort of speeds.
As magnetic brakes also don't rely on contact, they work just as well in the wet!
All of that is to say that the strength of magnetic brakes, and the length of the brake run, are designed to stop the train with healthy margins of error.
It's almost as if improved technology at the hands of people who know what they're doing is better...
