direct brake/braking Explanation: I don't know enough about railway technology to provide a detailed explanation, but here are some examples: "Experiments with longer and heavier trains have been limited by the speed of propagation of the brake signals through the brake pipe. ECP technology, through EPX *direct brakes**, applies and releases wagon brakes simultaneously, as well as incrementally, along the train." "[The triple valve] inverted the behaviour of the direct air brake: charging air into the pipe charged the system and released the brakes, and draining air from the brake pipe applied the brakes. This system was a lot more responsive and fail-safe, and thus became the basis of the modern air brake." Reference: http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/freight/single-view/view/...
