Stopping—Scenario 1Level GradeAscending GradeDescending GradeDynamic BrakeAvailableDynamic BrakeNot AvailableSlack BunchedSlack StretchedDirection of Travel-0.80% -0.80%When stopping under these conditions:1. Gradually reduce the throttle to IDLE.2. Wait 10 seconds.3. Activate the dynamic brake and gradually bunch the slack.4. Increase braking to the desired level.5. At a sufficient distance from the stop, make a minimum brakepipe reduction and actuate.6. Make further split reduction(s) as needed and actuate.7. As speed drops below dynamic brake range, supplement with theindependent brake.8. Make a final brake pipe reduction and allow the locomotivebrakes to apply.June 1, 1996 ARRC Air Brakes and Train Handling Manual 64-23
