There are presented and analyzed specific aspects regarding the main mechanic and pneumatic issues determining the in-train dynamic forces developed during braking actions. Particularities in case of passenger trains are highlighted, with the aim of proving that even in the case of short trains, fitted with UIC type P braking system, longitudinal dynamics can cause significant reactions whose effect cannot be neglected, both in terms of traffic safety and comfort. Numerical examples presented stand for this.
