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. By controlling air pressure with a single control device in the leading vehicle, the entire train's brakes are controlled. The brake system pressure is created by compressors , which can be found on motorized vehicles . Before going into detail about how the system works, let's get familiar with a few of the primary components:
