Tom,
A recovery from an emergency induced "PC" on 26L brake equipment can be reset simply by moving the brake handle from "Emergency" back past the "Handle Off" detent (provided that the throttle handle was moved to "Idle). I am going to guess that the units involved didn't have this type of brake valve.
One thing that I taught my trainees was that if the train did go into emergency, never move the brake handle to the "Emergency" position until the train came to a complete stop. This was done so as not to lose the use of the Power/DB as the case may warrant.
