all i use to slow down..and sometimes even to stop is dynamic brake... useing the air has to many potental problems... you run the risk of getting a kicker if you use the air...as well as stuck brakes...moreso if the weather is cold outside... the last thing i want is to have to have my conductor out at 3 am in 10 degree cold walking a train becouse we got a defect detector for a stuck brake... dynamic = less chance of problems... air = problems... that is what i tell all the engineer trainees i get... use the air only when you have to... to slow down use dynamo
