Making the first application before thethrottle is entirely closed would pitrain from bunching, and with the longpassenger train the brake can be helden lightly until the train has stopped. When the independent brake is usedto bunch the slack in the train it shouldbe applied very lightly and the brake cyl-. UX IlIK LINE OF THE SAX RAFAEL & ATLEXCO RAILROAD. Instead of being difficult to operate, theE. T. brake has decided advantage- inthis respect as the 10 and 12 inch brakecylinders on the head end of the train are-emptied before the 14 and 16 inch cylin-ders on the rear cars and by holdingthe driver brake applied in release posi-tion of the brake valve it automaticallyguards against the engine and forwardportion of the train pulling away from therear cars while their brakes are not yetfully released. While a long heavy pas-senger train and a freight train should behandled similarly in some respects, thereare times when it is better to have thetrain stretched than bunched when theautomatic brake is applied, for instance,quite a number of the later type L triplevalves, which have the quick-service fea-ture, are in use and are found on theheavy cars on the rear end of the tri
