Important: Train air brakes can be 

applied

 gradually but they cannot be 

released

 gradually; if

you brake too heavily, you will have to fully release the brakes before you can try to apply them
again. If this process is repeated too often in a short period of time, you can use up all of your
air pressure and have NO AIR BRAKES, a potentially disastrous situation on a long, steep grade.
Always try to use the dynamic brakes first (because they do not have this limitation), combined
with careful, gradual application of the air brakes.

Do not supplement the dynamic brake with the 

locomotive

 air brakes unless you are in the process

of starting or stopping and your speed is below the effective range of the dynamic brakes. Always
use dynamic brakes to their fullest extent before using locomotive air brakes.

In the real world, computers on the locomotives monitor the axles. If there is a differential in axle
speeds, power is automatically reduced to the slipping wheel and sand is automatically applied.
In Train Simulator, you apply sand manually, by pressing the X key.

Except when emergency braking is required, change throttle positions and brake applications slowly
to allow your train’s slack to adjust gradually.

When you use the dynamic brakes and air brakes together and you reach the desired speed, maintain
enough dynamic brake to control slack until the air brakes are fully released.

Make throttle changes one notch at a time. If the wheelslip light comes on, reduce the throttle until
the light goes out.

Never apply power to hold a train stationary on a grade. Always use the train brakes to hold a train
on a grade.
