<p>[quote user="wsherrick"]I learned how to run engines with a 6 brake.  One the railroad I work for we still have engines with 6, 14 and 24 brakes and no dynamic braking.  To me a modern 26 brake is child's play.  It's self lapping and has pressure maintaining.  The older systems of brakes require a lot of experience and you really have to know the physical characteristics of your run.  It's all in your hands with those babies.[/quote]</p><p>I worked for a shortline with the majority of the brakes being 24 with no dynamics. Most of the engineers I worked with despised them. The guys who hire on with the class 1's nowadays only see these things in history books.</p>
