When a brake line breaks or when pressure is lost, then brakes on all cars are suppose to apply. The more interesting question will be why those rail car brakes did not automatically engage on all railcars. Picture are important because they demonstate how fast those railcars must have been going. But those speeds are suppose to be not possible without a locomotive to put pressure into those brake lines.
