EP-60: THE WORLD’S MOSTPROVEN ECP TECHNOLOGY!
New York Air Brake’s electronicallycontrolled pneumatic braking (ECP)offers railroads major improvementsin train control with features such asgraduated application release, andsimultaneous, load-compensatedbraking on each car within a train.NYAB has logged millions of carmiles of revenue service and hasbuilt on that experience to designand supply our second generationEP-60, the industry’s most advancedand reliable package.
EP-60 STAND-ALONECONFIGURATION
New York Air Brake’s EP-60 stand-alone configuration eliminates pneu-matic and emergency portions, islighter, and is designed to fit in thesame space envelope as the DB-60.
EP-60 OVERLAY INSTALLATION
New York Air Brake’s EP-60 overlayinstallation options apply to bothnew and retrofit applications, andcan be easily upgraded to a stand-alone configuration.
BRAKES-TEST DEVICES, SYSTEMS
COMPUTERIZED SINGLE-CARTEST DEVICE
New York Air Brake’s ComputerizedSingle Car Test Device (CSCTD) is areliable, accurate, highly mobile,and user-friendly test device, whichis fully compliant with AAR specifi-cation S-486. It is designed to bethe most cost-effective device avail-able, and eliminates the need for ex-pensive adapter kits, requiring onlya connection to the brake pipe hoseglad hand and the brake cylinderpressure measurement tap.
BRAKES-HYDRAULIC PARKING
HYDRAULIC HAND BRAKESYSTEM FOR TMB-60TRUCK MOUNTED BRAKE
New York Air Brake has taken a sys-tems approach to create a unique,simplified design—TMB-60HHB,which facilitates more efficient cardesign, allowing flexibility in the lo-cation of the hand pump, and sim-plifies car installation and testing.The system incorporates two inte-grated apply & release hydraulicactuators with a mechanical-lockfeature. Its high-output, high-effi-ciency hand pump requires an in-put force of less than 50 pounds toapply or release the hand brake,which optimizes operator safety.The TMB-60M configuration in-cludes a stainless steel cable to in-terface with standard mechanicalhand brake systems.
BRAKES-EMPTY/LOAD DEVICES
EL-60 EMPTY & LOAD VALVE
Empty & load valves adjust the ef-fective braking action on a freightcar as a function of the car’s weight.The EL-60 empty & load system forfreight cars offers the following im-portant advantages: load sensing ina single-axis plane; a lightweight,high-strength sensor arm made ofnon-corrosive, composite material;a visual indicator showing full orproportional brake condition; andimproved rock and roll protection.EL-60 is small and easy to connect.It is available in 45, 50, or 60 per-cent proportioning. For ease of ac-cess, a brake cylinder pressure mea-surement tap can be placed in oneof two locations.
TEST EQUIPMENT
BRAKE CYLINDER PRESSUREMEASUREMENT TAP
New York Air Brake’s Brake Cylin-der Pressure Measurement Tap as-sists in measuring brake cylinderpressure per AAR Standard S-4020.It is available in either a socket weldflange fitting style or in a socket weldcoupling style. Both are installed bywelding to standard 3/4-inch brakecylinder piping. A self-sealing quickdisconnect valve, with an optionalplastic end cap to prevent contami-nation, is also available. It providesa quick connection to the brake cyl-inder test gauge when performinga single-car test.
BRAKES-TRUCK MOUNTED
TRUCK MOUNTED BRAKESMADE EASY
TMB-60 utilizes a patented paral-lelogram design that delivers opti-mum braking performance whileminimizing weight. For car builders,the TMB-60’s simplified installation(no need for through-bolster rods),extreme slack adjuster trigger ad-justments, and lightweight design(the lightest #28 beams in the in-dustry!) mean fewer installationman-hours and lower costs. Rail-roads and car owner’s benefit fromlower operating costs as a result ofmore even shoe and wheel wear.TMB-60 fits any standard AAR-ap-proved truck and uses standard two-inch brake shoes.

VENT VALVE
New York Air Brake’s service-provenKM-2 vent valve utilizes a poppetvalve design to provide superior andreliable venting. KM-2 valves areused in locomotive applications andin long car applications in conjunc-tion with DB-60L.
THREE-POSITION RETAININGVALVE
New York Air Brake’s retaining valveis constructed of high-strength, non-corrosive, structural plastic. Thevalve is a direct replacement for theexisting design, is 40 percent lighter,and uses 30 percent fewer parts. Thehighly reliable, long-lived three-po-sition retaining valve controls thebrake cylinder exhaust rate or re-tains a 20-psi brake cylinder pres-sure, as governed by the position ofthe manually operated valve handle.The three positions are: Direct Ex-haust (EX), Slow Direct (SD), andHigh Pressure Retain (HP).
SLACK ADJUSTERS
NEW SLACK ADJUSTER
New York Air Brake’s KRD 2A-500-AR is an automatic, double acting,AAR-approved style slack adjuster,designed for freight cars that doesnot require servicing between over-haul intervals. Additional featuresinclude corrosion protection on allparts and double sealing betweensliding parts with a wear-resistantmaterial that prevents dirt and mois-ture from entering the unit. Theclutch design provides positive andsecure opening against vibrationsencountered during operation. TheKRD-2A-500-AR automatically ad-justs for brake shoe and wheel wearwith each brake application.

CCB II: ADVANCEDLOCOMOTIVE AIR BRAKESYSTEM
In 1998, New York Air Brake intro-duced its second-generation locomo-tive electronic air brake system —CCB II (Computer Controlled Brake).It is designed to provide best-in-classreliability and to meet the railroadindustry’s demand for increased lo-comotive availability. CCB II is a mi-crocomputer-based system designedto provide full automatic and inde-pendent brake control for main linelocomotives. Its network-based de-sign permits faster response, and itsself-diagnostic routines and LRU(line-replaceable unit) approach re-duce maintenance costs.
New York Air Brake’s EPCU man-ages the pneumatic interfaces be-tween the locomotive brake systemand the consist. It controls thelocomotive’s brake cylinders, brakepipe, independent application andrelease pipe, and the actuating pipe.A redundant pneumatic backup sys-tem is integrated into the EPCU, andprovides backup for partial loss ofcomputer control in the lead loco-motive or functions in the trail modewhen the system is unpowered.
MEASUREMENT/MONITOR SYSTEMS
LEADER: ADVANCED TRAINHANDLING TOOL
LEADER™ (Locomotive Engineer As-sist/Display Event Recorder) is apowerful train performance datacollection, reporting, and process-ing system that will significantly im-prove railroad operations. LEADERfeatures range from real-time traindynamics displayed in the cab ofthe locomotive to automatic radiodownload of operational data de-livered to your desktop computervia your existing network for analy-sis. LEADER provides real-worldtools to reduce fuel consumption,to minimize in-train forces, and toimprove the skills of locomotive en-gineers. LEADER software utilitiesprovide the tools to help railroadsbetter understand and manage cur-rent operations designed to deliverreal savings.
