Dynamic brake is a braking system type designed to aid mechanical brakes when slowing down trains .

It is featured by some locomotives and railcars , made possible by their specific powertrains . Because dynamic brakes don't rely on train brakes , they help reduce wear and friction on the brake shoes .

Depending on the powertrain type, there are different types of dynamic brakes, such as rheostatic , hydrodynamic and engine brakes.

-To prevent wear and overheating of the brake shoes, most locomotives and railcars feature alternative ways of slowing down, such as rheostatic, hydrodynamic and engine brakes. These brakes use the powertrain of the vehicle as a means to slow down, instead of relying on the brake shoe friction.
-Dynamic brakes are further described in the Powertrain section of the manual for each powertrain type.
