ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor based electro-pneumatic locomotive brake control system in which a brake application is obtained automatically on the locomotive consist and train only in response to a loss of power at the lead or controlling locomotive microprocessor, and not in response to a loss of power at a trail or non-controlling locomotive microprocessor. The brake control system provides for releasing such a fail-safe brake application at the locomotive independently of the train brakes.
