force developed in the coupler, resulting from two coupled cars
pulling each other. This force occurs when the locomotive is pulling
the train.
retarding the movement of a locomotive, accomplished by changing the
traction motors into generators and dissipating the generated current

application; cannot be stopped once it has been initiated.
different pressures in two or more volumes of air become equal. If a
connection is made between volumes of different pressures, they will
"equalize" at an intermediate pressure dependent on volume sizes.

of braking force available without using an emergency application.

independently control the locomotive's brakes, regardless of the
automatic brake handle position.

manually by moving a handle or it can occur automatically if a valve
is designed as a self-lapping valve . (Note: GO Transit equipment is self-lapping.)

1. A handle position on the Automatic brake valve that will recharge
the brake pipe and release the train

2. A handle position on the Independent brake that will release an
independent brake application on the locomotive.
3. A full recharge of the brake pipe resulting in a full brake release.
