Embodiment Construction
[0022] exist figure 1 , the reference symbol T designates the railway trainset as a whole, comprising a lead master locomotive ML and at least one intermediate or trailing slave locomotive SL, and a plurality of trains or cars C.
[0023] exist figure 1 In the embodiment schematically shown in , locomotives ML and SL are electric locomotives powered by overhead conductor CC via respective pantographs P. However, the invention is not limited to application to trainsets comprising such locomotives.
[0024] The train set T is provided with a known type of pneumatic braking system, in which all the vehicles in the train set are pneumatically connected together by brake ducts kept at a predetermined pressure (eg 5 bar), and the brakes of all vehicles are kept open .
[0025] The pressure drop in the brake ducts caused by actuating the brake cocks in the cab of the main locomotive ML is propagated throughout the trainset and to the brake equipment on the individual vehicles. Di...
