There is no difference, if you lose your air, you lose your air, regardless of
what caused it, either way your BP pressur goes to zero. I must admit that the
fact the loco continued for quite some distance after the train separated is
very puzzling to me. 

I assume the ICE train has a continuos automatic brake pipe and not just a
train length MR pipe for ep braking but I know nothing about the braking
systems on an ICE train.
