Nowadays, we really don't have to ever watch the pressure guage (outside of making sure it is fully charged). We can gather how much brake we need by feel. I guess back then, you were constantly watching the guage.I seriously doubt that. Back then, just like you do now, you "feel" whether your train needs more or less brake. It's almost like working a 62A or 68A which are resistant to fanning. With those cars, you hold what you've got then if you need more or less, you adjust the brake valve to the position you wanted. Same with AMUE, but with a little more wrist action. |
