Answer: Stop the train immediately and make sure the wheels are rotating freely
Feedback:
The train must not continue moving. Issues such as a locked wheel, slipped pinion gear, etc., may exist. Once stopped and someone is in position to observe the wheels, begin moving and determine if the wheels are moving freely.
