Message definition (Air Brake System Overview)

Every {{pll|Rail Vehicle Types|rail vehicle}} is equipped with mechanical {{pll|Braking Overview|brakes}}. They function by physically pressing {{pll|Brake Shoes|brake shoes}} against the wheels. The shoes can be pressed manually with {{pll|Handbrake|handbrakes}}, or automatically with compressed air.

In order to stop or slow down, trains need a lot of braking force. For this reason each individual vehicle in a train is equipped with brakes, able to apply them almost simultaneously. Synchronous operation of all vehicles' brakes from a single vehicle, usually the leading locomotive, is accomplished by the compressed air mechanical brake system, simply called the train brake .
