In order for trains to be able to slow down effectively, each containing vehicle needs to apply brakes relatively simultaneously. This is accomplished by the train’s air brake system. Each rail vehicle comes equipped with an air line hose on either end. When vehicles are coupled together, their air lines are connected too, in a handshake manner. This way, the driver in a leading vehicle is able to operate brakes on the entirety of the train, using a single train brake control device.
