Couplers • Federal Safety Appliance Act of 1893 required standardization for safety reasons • Link-and-pin required going between cars • Swinging-knuckle design chosen for standard • Two types: E and F

Draft Gear • Used to cushion shock and strain on cars from movement • Friction in system absorbs energy • Most have a coupler travel of 5½ in. , but some cars (mainly boxcars) have 9½ in. of give.

![Braking System Comprised of Brake pipe connected by hoses between cars ABDX valve Braking System • Comprised of: -Brake pipe (connected by hoses between cars) -ABDX valve](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/e2d87d1d8dfa6bb219512caaf7829d49/image-8.jpg)
Braking System • Comprised of: -Brake pipe (connected by hoses between cars) -ABDX valve (triple valve) -Auxiliary reservoir -Emergency reservoir -Brake cylinder • Fail-Safe System
![Braking System continued Brake pipe and system charged with air to 70 90 Braking System (continued) • Brake pipe and system charged with air to 70 -90](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/e2d87d1d8dfa6bb219512caaf7829d49/image-9.jpg)
Braking System (continued) • Brake pipe and system charged with air to 70 -90 psi (110 psi on passenger trains) • Once charged, all brake valves in “release” position • Some leakage will occur such that each successive car will have less pressure • This is called “brake pipe gradient” and must be less than 15 psi for entire train
![Applying Brakes Engineer reduces pressure in brake line Brakes apply on car Applying Brakes • Engineer reduces pressure in brake line • Brakes apply on car](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/e2d87d1d8dfa6bb219512caaf7829d49/image-10.jpg)
Applying Brakes • Engineer reduces pressure in brake line • Brakes apply on car next to locomotive • Reduction in air pressure travels through train, one car to the next • Can take several seconds for “signal” to reach end of train • Slack Action
![EOT EndofTrain EOT device monitors brake pressure at the end of the train EOT • End-of-Train (EOT) device monitors brake pressure at the end of the train](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/e2d87d1d8dfa6bb219512caaf7829d49/image-11.jpg)
EOT • End-of-Train (EOT) device monitors brake pressure at the end of the train and train movement and radios information to locomotive cab • If equipped with twoway communications, can be used to apply brakes from rear of train

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP)Brakes • Electronic signal activates brakes on each car nearly instantly (speed of light) • Flaw: Every car on the train must have wiring and electronic controls
