Preliminary data points to a cable failure (either the cable snapped or disconnected from one of the cars) and a total failure of the emergency braking system.
This is a heritage system, and the cars are more than 100 years old. This is where the problem begins: there’s nothing wrong with operating cars this old, *if* they are maintained properly by people who know them intimately.
