| 摘要 |
This invention relates to brake control apparatus for a slave locomotive of a remote multiple unit locomotive control system wherein a brake control console on the lead locomotive is manually operable to control the brakes on the forward portion of the train, and also to effect corresponding control (via radio-transmitted signals initiated by manual operation of this brake control console) of the brakes on the remaining portion of the train by the brake apparatus on a slave locomotive remotely located in the train. This control apparatus on the slave locomotive is operable, upon loss of radio control thereof from the lead locomotive, in response to a reduction of pressure in the train brake pipe effected by manual operation of the brake control console on the lead locomotive, to cause the brake pipe cut-off valve of the brake valve on the slave locomotive to operate to cut-off or terminate charging of the train pipe by the brake valve on the slave locomotive irrespective of the degree of train brake pipe leakage.
