On a SMEE, the controller or brake valve controls the entire consist as if it were the head car; there is no independant control to make one car do something different then the rest of the consist. The running release position OR the full release position and application service range as well are generally used to energize the release or application circuits and allow magnet valves on every car in consist to vent or feed the Straight air pipe. The pneumatical portion of the brake valve works if the electric brake is not functioning and is used in application positions to charge the train car by car to stop the consist, or in the full release to release the entire consist AT THE head car brake valve, instead of car by car at each of the car's magnet valves. Since NYCT uses an electric emergency, it would be faster to dump the brake pipe then it would to wait for air at the head car's feed valve to reach the end of the train and equalize |
