Some of the main risks associated with brakes are:
- Parked trains turning into runaways due to brake cylinder leaks and misapplied handbrakes.
- Forgotten applied handbrake(s) resulting in hindered pulling power.
- Badly set up brake pipe valves leading to limited train brake availability.
- Traction loss resulting in wheelslide if brakes are applied too hard in wet conditions.
- Prolonged mechanical brake usage resulting in brake shoe overheating and loss of braking power.
- Incorrectly setup brake cutout valves, resulting in dysfunctional train brakes.
- Excessive dynamic brake use leading to powertrain overheating.
