Dynamic brake is a braking system type designed to aid mechanical brakes when slowing down trains. It is featured by some locomotives and railcars. Dynamic brakes are made possible by the vehicles' specific powertrains and, because they don't rely on train brakes, they help reduce wear and friction on the brake shoes.
The different types of dynamic brakes include rheostatic, hydrodynamic and engine brakes.
