I've often wondered about this "stalling". How exactly does an EMU
constisting of 4 seperate power cars "stall"? The whole point of EMUs
compared to locomotives is that if one power car fails you've got X
others that keep going. Or is stall simply a euphamism for "somethings
broken, we don't know what and the train won't move"?
