AIR BRAKES PART THREE - Questions 1 to 25
1) When a freight train is stopped by an emergency application of the brakes, and after the cause has been determined (if possible), what must be done?


2) Under extreme conditions, when a train cannot be given a proper pull-by inspection, and when the brake pipe pressure
can be properly and immediately restored, can the train be moved to a suitable location to make the inspection?


3) While a train is stopping as a result of a second undesired Emergency brake application (UDE) and there is unusual
slack action noticed, must a pull-by inspection be performed?


4) You are on a 25 car freight train en route. What is the maximum number of cars with brakes cut out that can be handled and still be within the percentage allowed?


5) When a brake test is to be performed, the air brake system shall be charged to within how much PSI of standard pressure for that train?



6) The brake pipe gauge on a locomotive is reading 85psi. What is the minimum air pressure required at the rear of the train prior to performing a brake test?



7) When cars which have been previously tested are added to a train, what type of brake test is required?



8) A train is made up by the train crew. There is no qualified personnel on duty at that location to perform a No. 1 brake test. What type
of brake test will be performed by the train crew?



9) A train en route is instructed to lift two cars from a back track. What type of brake test must be performed on the train after the cars are lifted?



10) What must be done before applying hand brakes to cars that are left at any point?


11) A train has stopped to make a set off. What is required when leaving the remaining portion of the train when you cut off?


12) When brakes are cut out on a car:



13) During winter conditions when making a running release of train brakes, what procedure must be followed to help eliminate sticking brakes?


14) When performing a brake test, what reduction in brake pipe pressure constitutes a full service brake application?


15) What type of air brake test will be performed when one or more cars added to a freight train have not been previously
tested at that location or the locomotive engineers have changed?


16) When a No 2 brake test is performed, after a full service application has been made, what is required?


17) What is required when the brake pipe has been uncoupled to set off cars or to perform switching, when no cars have been added to the train?


18) What air brake test is required when solid blocks of one or more cars, which have been previously tested at that location, are added to a train?


19) A train has just set off twenty cars for you to lift. What type of brake test is required when you add these cars to your train?


20) When performing a Transfer Movement Brake Test, it must be verified that not less then what percentage of the brakes are operative?


21) When performing a Transfer Movement Brake Test, must there be a method of determining the air pressure at the rear of the transfer movement?


22) When a yard test plant is used to perform a No 1 brake test, what must the outgoing conductor or locomotive engineer be provided with?


23) When a Train Brake Status Report is not with the train at a crew change off point (not a designated inspection location), when may the train proceed?


24) What speed must not be exceeded while conducting a "pull by inspection" of the train brakes?



25) How many cars at the rear of a freight train must have operative brakes?
