One of the HBDs "transmitted a critical audible alarm message instructing the crew to slow and stop the train to inspect a hot axle," according to the report. After hearing the warning, the train engineer "increased the dynamic brake application to further slow and stop the train" and the crew later observed fire and smoke and notifi
