LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING 309 Air=Brake Department. Old and New Methods of HoldingTrains on Mountain Grades. We illustrate herewith records takenfrom a freight train descending steepgrades on a Western ore road. Therecords show graphically the advantagegained by the use of retaining valves andby making frequent recharges. The speed lines show, in a measure, theoperation of the brakes or the frequencyof the applications. Beginning at the right and reading to CONDUCTED BY P. M. NBLUS. the less liability there is of brakes leakingoff, less train-line leakage, and conse-quently less time is required for recharg-ing. The shorter the time required for re-charging, the less liability of retainer leak-age, and the practice of making m
