Looks like I need to get busy and build a second Pusher.

That's terrifying! Most people can barely handle a trailer :shock:

And I am sure that not everyone pays attention to the amount of braking power that train would take to stop.

Thats a good point; with semi trucks, we have air brakes on all trailers. With these rigs, in fact all passenger cars hauling trailers, I don't think they have brakes? I've heard of electric trailer brakes for cars, but i don't know about it.
Anyone know?

Yep they do. They're called brake buddy's (or other brands).

Or the trailers may have brake with a brake controller like this one:

However I doubt everyone is spending $1000 on additional braking components.
