Locomotive Brake System:
The Newag Locomotives used during movement, are fitted with KNORR UIC air brakes.The type of
brakes can be divided as follow;

Direct Brake:
The Direct Brake is an independent brake for Locomotive Only. Application and release of the brake
is controlled by driver‟s direct air brake valves, located on the driving console. The braking force
produced by compressed air act on a well balanced and adjustable brake linkage and the brake
blocks, with effect on each wheel.

Automatic or Compressed Air Brake:
The Automatic Air Brake is used on Works Train consists, to haul Wagons. The airflow is made
continuously throughout the Wagon and Locomotive via the flexible hose between these vehicles,
which is connected to the Brake Pipe. On each Wagon there is a distributor with an Auxiliary
Reservoir which have to maintain a pressure of „5‟ bar to release the brakes of the consist and when
the Brake Pipe pressure drops less than „5‟ bar, the brakes of the consist will start to apply. The
auto brake valve controls the flow of air into and out of the brake pipe which in turn control the brake
on each wagon via the Auto Brake Lever in the driving console.

Parking Brake:
Parking Brake is a mechanical handbrake that is applied by turning the Handbrake Wheel in a
clockwise direction. The handbrake works on direct mechanical brake block applied by manual
application of the Parking brake. To release the brake, turn the Handbrake Wheel anti-clockwise
