Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you mean to ask if the Motorman hold on to a minimum amount of brake(as opposed to full service brake) while door are open so they can move quicker when doors are closed as opposed to waiting for all air to release from the brakes which takes a couple of seconds. Many T/O's I know do this. On smee equipment I hold about 10-15 lb of brake unless I'm on a steep grade. Don't do it on New Tech equipment BC the brakes release so quick anyway. |
