Los frenos son dispositivos que se encuentran a bordo de los vehículos ferroviarios, que se utilizan para reducir la velocidad de éstos, detenerlos, o mantenerlos quietos. Hay varios tipos diferentes de frenos que normalmente están presentes en el material rodante motorizado y otros, y cada uno es más apropiado para un diferente propósito particular. Cada uno de ellos es operado por un dispositivo de control individual, generalmente una palanca o una manivela que puede estar ubicada dentro de la cabina o en el exterior del vehículo.
La aplicación de los frenos casi siempre está orientada hacia adelante. Esto es para que, en caso de emergencia, el maquinista pueda empujar todas las palancas hacia adelante como medida de seguridad, sin necesidad de pensar en la regla individual para cada control.
Los tipos de frenos son:
Freno automático:
Se utiliza para reducir la velocidad y detener los trenes.
Risks
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.
Warnings
Depending on the session difficulty settings, a flashing warning light above the brake pipe gauge indicates certain problems with the braking system. They are:
- There is a handbrake applied somewhere on the train.
- One of the brake pipe valves is incorrectly setup somewhere on the train.
- There are more than one brake control devices cut in, or none is, on the train.
