Translations:Reverser/1/en

Reverser is a control device, typically a lever, used to set the moving direction of a motorized rail vehicle – forward, reverse or neutral. The latter typically separates the wheels from the powertrain altogether. Reverser should never be operated when a vehicle is in motion, to avoid catastrophic damage to the powertrain. For the same reason, throttle and dynamic brakes typically need to be disengaged for the reverser to be operable.
