They receive pressurized air from the main reservoir directly when applied and dump pressure into the atmosphere when released. Both train and independent brakes use the same brake cylinder, so the dominant one is the type that is applied more.

Motorized vehicles connected in a multiple-unit will all apply their independent brakes, if any one of them does.
