first service mookie is the first indent on the automatic brake valve handle. the reduction usually gives a 6 to 8 pound reduction in the train brake line. basically i use it to warm up the brake shoes. it does apply the shoes against the wheels but usually not enough force to bring the train to a screeching halt.thats why if you got good power you can drag a train through ups and downs.
