Train brake is a system of brake shoes and pressurized air vessels running through an entire train, designed to control slowing down or stopping it, as if it were a single vehicle.

Train brake is operated by a control device, usually a lever, found on most motorized rail vehicles. If a train has multiple motorized rail vehicles, the one that has its brake the most applied will dominate.
