Answer: - Immediately warn other trains by radio, stating the exact location and status of the train and repeat as necessary. - Notify the train dispatcher or control operator and, when possible, foreign line railroads, if necessary. - Place lighted fusees on the adjacent tracks.

Feedback:
An emergency brake application occurs because of a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition. Any time the train experiences an emergency application, whether crew-induced or undesired, the train crew must provide warning on adjacent main tracks or controlled sidings. Warning messages should be in accordance with rule 2.10 by stating "Emergency" three times over the radio. This also applies if the train has actuated a shifted load or is dragging an equipment detector.
