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. When vehicles are coupled together, their air lines are connected too. The air lines serve to propagate air pumped by motorized vehicles , which is used to control the train's brakes.

	Each rail vehicle has an air line hose on either end. When vehicles are {{pll\|Coupling\|coupled}} together, their air lines are connected too. ~~By controlling~~ air ~~pressure with a single [[Train Brake\|control device]] in the leading vehicle, the entire train's brakes are controlled. The brake system pressure is created~~ by ~~{{pll\|Compressor\|compressors}}, which can be found on~~ {{pll\|Rail Vehicle Types\|motorized vehicles}}~~.
