Having air in brake cylinders is not always desirable. For vehicles that sat unused for some time, the brake cylinder is likely empty due to leaks in the system. However, if a vehicle was used recently, its brake cylinder might still be pressurized and its brakes applied. When shunting, for example, it is quicker to be able to move cars around without having to wait for the brake pipe to pressurize to release the brakes.

It is not always desirable to have air in brake cylinders . On vehicles that sat unused sufficiently long, brake cylinder is at atmospheric pressure due to leaks in the system . However, on vehicles that were used more recently, brake cylinders could still be pressurized and have their brake shoes pressed against the wheels. In situations where brakes need to be released, but waiting for a motorized vehicle to pressurize the system first is undesirable, such as in certain shunting maneuvers, or after a complicated derailment , sometimes the best option is to release brakes by manually dumping the brake cylinder pressure.
