ABSTRACT:
An equipment carriage for locomotive air brake valve components including a box-like frame having a rear section separating parallel end sections. The frame is arranged to guidably receive, through an open front section, a group of one or more unitized valve assemblies stacked in vertical, side-by-side relationship, such that an end face adjacent the rear section engages a mating face of a respective header bar that is affixed to the frame at the rear section thereof to provide a pipe bracket to which the locomotive air lines are connected. Such an arrangement, in addition to providing optimum space utilization, permits removal of individual unitized assemblies from the frame without requiring removal of the frame itself or any of the other unitized assemblies, and without disturbing the air line connections.
