Message definition (Reverser)

Reverser is a control device found on {{pll|Rail Vehicle Types|motorized rail vehicles}}, used to set their moving direction. It is typically controlled by a lever found in the vehicle's {{pll|Rail Vehicle Types|cab}}. Besides forward and reverse, reversers also feature a neutral setting, which disengages {{pll|Rail Vehicle Types|drivetrains}} altogether, akin to a {{pll|Mechanical Transmission|gearbox}}.

Reverser is a control device, typically a lever, used to set the moving direction of a motorized rail vehicle – forward, reverse or neutral. The latter typically separates the wheels from the powertrain altogether. Reverser should never be operated when a vehicle is in motion, to avoid catastrophic damage to the powertrain. For the same reason, throttle and dynamic brakes typically need to be disengaged for the reverser to be operable.
