| 11. | Brake equipment consists of pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, regenerative and dynamic brakes.
|
| 12. | Foster Yeoman had already operated an EMD Dynamic Braking equipment.
|
| 13. | The similar appearing EMD GP15D does not have dynamic brakes.
|
| 14. | The tractive effort of each locomotive is and the maximum dynamic braking effort is.
|
| 15. | The system allows individual axle control including anti-slip, as well as electrical dynamic braking.
|
| 16. | However, since dynamic braking was not engaged, the setting caused the train to accelerate.
|
| 17. | Its flexicoil bogies and dynamic brakes allow it to perform well in the upcountry.
|
| 18. | Dynamic braking wastes braking energy by transforming it to heat.
|
| 19. | It has a dynamic brake, but no regenerative braking.
|
| 20. | However, dynamic braking was prohibited from use due to the aging of the traction motors.
