  2. Railway brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_brake

    A Heberlein brake is a continuous railway brake used in Germany that is applied by means of a mechanical cable. Train braking is therefore initiated centrally from the locomotive using a winder. This causes the brake clips to be applied on individual wagons, assisted by a servo system which makes use of the rotation of the axle.

  4. Track brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_brake

    A magnetic track brake (Mg brake) is a brake for rail vehicles. It consists of brake magnets, pole shoes , a suspension, a power transmission and, in the case of mainline railroads , a track rod. When current flows through the magnet coil, the magnet is attracted to the rail, which presses the pole shoes against the rail, thereby decelerating ...

    An axlebox, also known as a journal box in North America, is the mechanical subassembly on each end of the axles under a railway wagon, coach or locomotive; it contains bearings and thus transfers the wagon, coach or locomotive weight to the wheels and rails; the bearing design is typically oil-bathed plain bearings on older rolling stock, or roller bearings on newer rolling stock.

  7. Electro-pneumatic brake system on British railway trains

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-pneumatic_brake...

    The first Southern units fitted with EP brake could be considered the Bulleid double deck 4-DDs built 1949 (4001 & 4002). The EP brake fitted to this stock was not of the self lapping type and still required the Westinghouse brake as the 'fail to safe' braking as the EP brake fitted was of the 'energise to apply' type, which meant if there was a loss of brake control voltage the EP brake was ...

  8. Counter-pressure brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-pressure_brake

    Counter-pressure brakes were found especially on steam engines that worked long inclines and on rack railway locomotives (e.g. on the Vienna Kahlenberg Railway (Kahlenbergbahn), relieving brake blocks and tyres from high levels of wear and tear that they would otherwise be subjected to.

  9. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

    A comparatively simple brake linkage. In the air brake's simplest form, called the straight air system, compressed air pushes on a piston in a cylinder. The piston is connected through mechanical linkage to brake shoes that can rub on the train wheels, using the resulting friction to slow the train.
