The paper opens by defining some headings under which the general topic of locomotive braking can be considered. These comprise the generation of a suitable supply of clean dry compressed air from the operation of the brakes, the control of the air brake pipe pressure in proportion to the driver's requirements, and the control of the locomotive brakes themselves either from the brake pipe or from an independent brake controller. Dynamic braking is discussed together with its integration with the locomotive air brake. Finally the associated topic of safety is considered and the requirements of a typical safety and vigilance system discussed.
