However, the descriptive post has one slight error SMEE is the acronym for (S)traight air (M)otor car (E)mergency feature (E)lectric. the final "E" in WABCO and older NYAB brake acronyms always stands for electric. Some transit properties had similar brake systems which lacked the electric feature and were designated simply "SME" and had similar features to the SMEE but without the electro pneumatic feature since they were designed for single car or short 2 or 3 car operation such as street railways or interurbans. Other examples of straight pneumatic vs their respective corresponding electro pneumatic brake systems include AMU and AMUE, AML and AMLE etc. |
