Some of the main risks associated with brakes are:
- Parked trains turning into runaways due to brake cylinder leaks and no applied handbrakes .
- Forgotten applied handbrake(s) resulting in hindered pulling power .
- Badly set up brake pipe valves leading to limited 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 .
