Initial developments comprising Empty-Load change-over devices, slack adjusters, clasp brakes, etc, are reviewed which made possible running of 3200-ton trains without increasing braking distances over those obtaining with 2200-ton four-wheel-trains; incorporation of developments under study, such as higher brake ratios, improved rigging, composition brake shoes, etc, will enable vacuum brake to meet future transportation requirements of 6000- to 7000-ton trains at higher speeds.
