<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Henry,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">What you say is true, but that is not the point of the few prededing posts. The point of those posts is slack run-out causing a pressure drop in the trainline, which then dynamites the brakes. Look at the reference in blue the fifth post above this one.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Actually, in looking at it again, I see that they don't specify run-out or run-in. They just refer to slack action causing brake pipe pressure to drop. I am mystified. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Can you explain how slack action can change the pressure in the trainline?</span></p>
