Well, the right answer would be for the railgrinder to have a
compatible braking system or a way of adapting it. No brakes is
inherently unsafe.

Or to have crew in position to re-enable a disabled braking system
while the train is in motion.

If they have no air and no power to get any, re-enabling will hardly help,
surely?

Surely it has some sort of handbrake? How else could it be parked safely
for long periods when the air will have all leaked out?
