ABSTRACT:
An access plate which provides entry to a pneumatic braking system for the purpose of overlaying this system with an electronic controlled pneumatic system for a train braking system. This access plate allows entry into ports necessary to make brake applications from an electronic/programmed controlled unit or an equivalent thereof. This access plate has particular utility for accessing 26 porting and is one part of the entire unit that allows access to 26-type equipment for the purpose of overlaying features with an electronic controlled pneumatic braking system. This access plate provides access to porting to allow all of the advantages of electronic controlled braking to take effect such as shorter stopping distances, system performance feedback, and continuous recharging features. The present invention also provides a device on the access plate for accessing the necessary porting involved with doing a single car test within a 26-Type braking arrangement.
