A.—The release may bedue to an increase of pressure in the trainpipe, decrease in auxiliary reservoir orleakage of brake cylinder pressure. Theperson present must analyze the existingconditions and determine which of causesproduced the trouble. Then he mustsearch further and determine what irreg-ular detail produces the cause.
