Talk:Railway brake

message: I am a little unhappy about the reference to Armagh.  In that accident, a portion of a train was left without a locomotive and without the handbrakes (parking brakes) being applied. The vehicles had an automatic brake system which leaked off. Surely a better illustration would be where a train was running with a simple brake system, and the train divided and the entire train was left without brakes?

message: I don't think it's cost that prevents the use of EP brakes on goods trains. Rather that the increments between the 7 stages of braking would be too large for a heavy train and might cause wheel-locking. Biscuittin (talk) 10:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 7 stages of braking is much, much smoother than just 1 stage, and would be ideal for long, heavy freight trains except for cost.    7 stages would reduce any chance of wheel-locking   Tabletop (talk) 11:36, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Most countries now use air brakes, exceptions being:
* minor narrow gauge lines may use vacuum brakes.
* India (narrow gauge)
* Bangladesh - starting to convert to air brakes which allows higher speeds.  http://www.bangladesh-web.com/view.php?hidRecord=12699 
* Ghana
* South Africa (about 50%)
* Senegal and Mali  http://www.derbysulzers.com/frenchwestafrica.html 
* Togo  http://www.steam.dial.pipex.com/africa.htm 
* Narrow gauge branch railways would keep their original brakes.

thread_title:  Countries still using Vacuum Brakes 

message: In 2004, Bangladesh converted some vacuum brakes to air brakes, amongst other reasons, to raise the maximum speed of the trains.     http://www.bangladesh-web.com/view.php?hidRecord=12699     Tabletop (talk) 04:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Increased speed with air brakes 

message: Please include this information for each of the different kinds of brakes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.236.139.62 (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be nice to, but without a source for the necessary information, we're very much in the dark. The results of the Newark Brake Trials of June 1875 could be a useful start. Brake tests were carried out as part of the inquiries following the Round Oak rail accident (1858) and the Armagh rail disaster (1889), but these each concerned just one type of brake. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:38, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
