Patent

CA 2091305

A brake pipe continuity valve system permits the coupling of a pusher locomotive such that the engineer on the lead locomotive retains control of the entire train brake system including the pusher locomotive. The end-of-train device remains coupled to the air brake pipe line of the train, and a valve connects the air brake line pressure of the train with the air brake pipe of the pusher locomotive, upon moving the valve to an open position. The valve is automatically closed at the end of the pushing operation by the engineer on the pusher locomotive such that the brake pipe air remains intact throughout the main train including the end-of-train device, while isolating the pusher locomotive permitting it to back off at the end of the pushing operation.
