<b>ccsshegewisch,............</b>The second hose has nothing to do with retainers. Retainer levers are manually thrown by the conductor/brakeman while the train is stopped. <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />The larger hose is the regular train line. The smaller hose is probably for control of retainers from the locomotive for long downgrades. DM&IR has a similar arrangement for its mini-quad ore jennies. <br />[/quote]
