CSX Train Air Brake Test

1:21 - Genuine Del Monte air gauge. Rare sighting! :P

[@GachaRobloxianAndrew]

Perfect! Just what I needed to learn to do absolutely nothing with this information. 😂

[@johne.worsham8608]

I have noticed several trains passing through my town don't always have every car air hoses for braking are connected, is this safe? Should the trains be moved with cars not having all hoses connected?

[@georgejones2909]

When the locomotives are connected and their brakes are set, then you should make sure all hand car brakes are fully released.

[@haroldwilliams1009]

Quite a procedure!

[@PrekiFromPoland]

How much employees does it take to perform an air brake test on longer trains? I think it would take really long for just one person to do it, while it's enough on most European railroads.

[@everettrailfan]

Theoretically you really only need one person in the cab and one person walking along the train.

that sd90 came out that year. 1995 or 1996

Minute 6:12, why can´t you have cars with inoperative brakes in a train ? Wouldn´t that make any difference in perfomance on a 100-car train if one or two cars would have no brakes.

[@darrenpelletier8014]

denzzlinga no it really wouldn't make a difference for that many cars. these rules were made by people behind computers and lawyers with no train knowledge.

[@Lightning_Mike]

Where I live it's normal to have some cars with no brakes when the sparks/temperature from the braking operation is dangerous for the cargo (i.e. the traincar is loaded with High Explosive/Ammunition). But if you have a train that's carrying only this kind of cargo, every other traincar will be a flatcar with working brakes

[@denzzlinga]

Its the same in germany. You have to have a train consisting of at least 3 vehicles to carry one with inoperative brakes in the middle. Then breaking abilities will be kind of bad of course, but the rules allow it to operate a train like this.

[@Ben31337l]

I think it should be okay to have inoperative brakes on some vehicles, but the vehicles without brakes should be flagged and taken out of service at the earliest convenience.

[@donnyschlosser3236]

denzzlinga class one break test must have 100% of the brakes working per FRA

[@hanshima_]

I miss the good times when we actually had good material such as this one.

[@BigTex9752]

Why did the Independent Brake have 73 instead of 72

[@southernpacific2548]

I can see why some post 85 train crews lost inital and airbrake pay I used to take 2-3 hours to test my trains. Cya!!!

[@ohboy2592]

And you are part of the reason why it was taken away. Trying to make a little extra money helped eliminate that for today’s crew

Good information

[@timlennon4571]

Ah thank heavens, I needed to test them on my locomotive at the house anyway.
