Translations:Engine & Compression Brake/6/en

Engine and compression braking, featured only on some motorized vehicles, does not provide a very powerful braking force for large trains, but it can slow them down over time if used tactfully . The lower the RPM, the weaker the braking force, and at low enough speeds it can practically have no effect. To bring a vehicle to a complete halt, use braking methods that rely on brake shoes.
