ABSTRACT:
Integrity checking apparatus including an indicator lamp on each car of a transit train equipped with electropneumatically controlled brakes, said lamp being illuminated when the application magnet valve operates to effect a brake application and remaining illuminated until a stick circuit, which is closed by the brake application operation to keep said lamp illuminated, is interrupted by operation of the release magnet valve in releasing the brakes, thus providing a positive means of monitoring the integrity of both the application and release magnet valves during a terminal test of the brake system.
