It also describes recommended better practices such as:- a) two-pipe relayed automatic braking systems for bulk coal and mineral trains;- b) electro-pneumatic braking systems for self-propelled passenger rolling stock; and- c) fail-safe brake systems for infrastructure maintenance rolling stock.This standard describes minimum standards for brake performance, features and compatibility for the braking systems of Hauled Rolling Stock.Please note that this product is available in Excel format only.
