"Brake jam" or "brake hanging" occurs when a brake is unable
to be released from a wheel of train. The brake pad will be rubbing against the
rotating braking disc or wheel, which will generate heat as well as some smoke and
burning smell. This does not pose any safety risks and the train is still able to
move. Under the circumstance, the railway corporation will arrange detrainment of
passengers at a station and return of the train to depot for rectifications.
