Message definition (Air Brake System Overview)

Applying brakes with compressed air is quicker, which is why some vehicles are equipped with {{pll|Independent Brake|independent brakes}}, rather than just handbrakes. More importantly, compressed air allows brakes to be applied synchronously throughout an entire train, with the so called {{pll|Train Brake|train brake}}. The primary components that make the compressed air brake system are:

	~~Each rail vehicle has an~~ air ~~line hose on either end.
