Message definition (Brake Shoes)

With excessive use, for example when taking too heavy trains {{pll|Grade Signs|downhill}} at a high enough speed, the brake shoes may overheat. While in this state, they glow and make a metallic chime noise. Their braking ability is weakened and restored only once the shoes cool down again. Depending on the grade and other factors, if brake shoes overheat, a train may start gaining speed uncontrollably, resulting in a runaway disaster.
